The Lifestyle Assessment is foundational for using Individual Psychology. This workshop will provide participants with a practical understanding of the Adlerian Lifestyle Assessment .The components of a lifestyle: life tasks, family constellation, and early recollections are pivotal in discovering one’s private logic and guiding fictions in the life tasks of work, love, friendship and spirituality. This workshop will focus on the influence of Childhood Dreams and Early Recollections. By using the Lifestyle Assessment a clinician can gain a more comprehensive picture of how and why one does what (s)he does. The Adlerian tenet that “all behavior is purposeful” is supported with the Lifestyle. Through participation in an experiential exercise participants will gain a basic knowledge and some practice in completing a Lifestyle Assessment and interpreting childhood dreams and Early Recollections.

Objectives:

To understand the components of a Lifestyle Assessment

To gain an understanding of childhood dreams and early recollections, and their influence on one’s

Lifestyle, mistaken core beliefs and fictional goals.
