Adlerian Therapy with Recently Romantically Separated College-Age Women
Rhinehart, Alessandra; Gibbons, Melinda M.
Journal of College Counseling, v20 n2 p181-192 Jul 2017
Most female students in college will experience the breakup of a romantic relationship. Romantic separation can negatively affect their emotional state, social relationships, and understanding of personal identity. Adler's theory of individual psychology (IP), with its focus on social interest and personal worldview, is a useful theoretical framework for assisting this population. In this article, the authors offer a case study to illustrate how college counselors can use an IP approach to meet the unique needs of recently romantically separated college women.
