Sources of encouragement

The idea of encouragement can be traced back to Alfred Adler, the founder of individual psychology. According to Alfred Adler, social equality and equivalence is the constant orientation for mental health and mental development.
Adler's pupil and staff has dealt very much with discouraged children, and has discovered that people are social beings who need a sense of belonging more than anything else. Discouraged children seek a place, ie a sense of meaning, through dependence, helplessness, superiority, defiance, struggle and resistance. They lack the most important thing we need in life, namely courage.

Individual psychological consultant and speech therapist, founder of the Adler three-course institute for social equivalence in Züntersbach / Deustchland, developed together with his wife Julitta Schoenaker the encouraging training which, according to scientific studies, achieves astonishing changes within a very short time. Today the Adler Dreikurs-Institut is located in Sibesse, Lower Saxony (D) and is headed by Regula Hagenhoff.
