Abstract
The Use of Early Recollections in Adlerian Psychotherapy: Evidence in Neuroscience Research
Highlights
The main purpose of this paper is to present the latest neuroscience research in support of the use of early recollections (ERs) during Adlerian psychotherapy
We are convinced it is essential that every psychotherapist be exposed to this important new information about memories and ERs
Miller & Taylor [1] recently examined Individual Psychology from a neuro-scientific perspective. They presented neuroscientific research relating to basic Adlerian concepts such as social embeddedness, early childhood experiences, purposefulness of behavior, development of Lifestyle and holism
Summary
The main purpose of this paper is to present the latest neuroscience research in support of the use of early recollections (ERs) during Adlerian psychotherapy. Miller & Taylor [1] recently examined Individual Psychology from a neuro-scientific perspective. They presented neuroscientific research relating to basic Adlerian concepts such as social embeddedness, early childhood experiences, purposefulness of behavior, development of Lifestyle and holism. This article addresses the effective and necessary use of ERs in Adlerian Psychotherapy and the support for this technique found in neuroscience research It emphasizes three main ideas: firstly, the ER as a metaphor for current perspectives and feelings; secondly, the “self” of the person being comprised largely of his or her memories; and thirdly, reconstruction of ERs presenting a golden opportunity for holistic movement and change in Adlerian therapy
