Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses Adlerian therapy, one of several psychotherapeutic models that were developed and applied in the early 1900s. According to the paper, the Adlerian approach serves as a model for growth, placing its emphasis on a positive view of human nature and finding that the human being is in control of his or her own fate instead of being a pawn of that fate. The paper reports that the Adlerian therapy approach was developed by physician, Alfred Adler.

From the Paper
"Watson makes the process appear separate from the adult world so that the child must act out these issues on his or her own, but Lieberman (1994) considers the value of play in child-parent psychotherapy situations as a way of enhancing the quality of the emotional relationship between a young child and his or her parents. Such approaches can give importance to the factors that contribute to the clinical condition of the child and can also include the unresolved psychological conflicts of the parents as these may be reenacted in the relationship with the child. Lieberman describes parent-child psychotherapy as a relationship-based treatment approach applicable to infants, toddlers, and preschoolers experiencing mental health problems or whose relationship with the parent has been negatively affected because of parental factors, including mental illness, characteristics of the child that interfere with the formation of a secure attachment, or discordant temperamental styles between parent and child."

Abstract
This paper examines similarities between Adlerian and Gestalt psychology theories, and their respective psychotherapies. It traces the history of Gestalt psychology and the development of Gestalt Theoretical Psychotherapy.
From the Paper
"Gestalt psychology traces its origins to when Max Wertheimer studied phenomenal movement in the way the cinema operates. Moving pictures do not actually move but we see movement because we impose our perception of a series of pictures as movement and this is an example of Gestalt organization. We don't passively respond to the world but we interact with it. Our environment is not just reality but is also subject to our perceptions of it."

Abstract
This paper illustrates the major premises behind two forms of psychotherapy, Freud's psychoanalysis and Adlerian therapy. The paper describes both approaches, detailing their development, their use and their potential pitfalls. The writer states that Adlerian therapy is a more optimistic therapeutic approach because of its focus on attainable goals and the positive benefits it offers both patient and therapist.
Psychoanalytic Therapy
Adlerian Therapy
From the Paper
"Adlerian Therapy takes a positive view of human nature and is both humanistic and goal-oriented. It assumes a person is in control of their own fate and not a victim to it. Starting at an early age, a unique style of life is created by the person and that life-style stays relatively constant throughout the remainder of life. Working toward success, connectedness with others, and contributions to society are considered hallmarks of mental health, as well as being motivated by goals, dealing with the tasks faced in life, and social interest. Birth order is considered important in understanding a person's current personality, yet the therapy is future-minded, rather than retrospective. (Psyweb Pro, 2006) "

Abstract
This paper discusses and compares two of the most common counseling therapies available to psychologists and counselors - Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Adlerian therapy. The paper describes the history and background of each of the therapies and discusses how they apply to counseling sessions. The paper also looks at the types of patients that will benefit most from each form of therapy.
From the Paper
"Adler's view of counseling was for the therapist to discover the error in the patient's lifestyle and, through it, lead him to greater maturity (UXL Newsmakers 2005). For this purpose, he devised diagnostic approaches. Among these were the theory of dreams, the meaning of early childhood recollections, and the role of birth order in the family. The counselor or therapist gains an understanding and experience of the patient, not characterized by depth, but from the context of the larger whole of his collective transactions. In Adler's view, this was how to effect a change in the person's self-view and his view of the world. He would then be reorganized. In addition, the patient could be drawn to appreciate his own power of self-determination and to develop the courage to use it. In order to motivate or incline the person or patient towards or against a goal, the counselor or therapist expresses disinterest or unconcern and thus develops feelings of trust and true fellowship. This openness to each other would make up where one's mother could have failed (UXL Newsmakers)."

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Gestalt and behavior therapy. According to the paper, Gestalt therapy is a psychological system that stresses integration of body and mind factors by developing self-awareness and personal responsibility. The paper goes on to discuss behavior therapy, stating that there are several approaches to cognitive-behavioral therapy, including rational emotive behavior therapy, rational behavior therapy, rational living therapy, cognitive therapy and dialectic behavior therapy.
From the Paper
"Therefore, the therapeutic process encourages the client to interact with the environment, as a group, as an individual, and on many different levels, with different techniques, from using battacca bats to whack furniture, to imaging and interacting with the image in their mind by conversing with it out loud. The techniques used in therapy vary as widely as the therapists and clients, from principles based on Holism, Field theory, figure formation, organismic, the concept of the Now and "unfinished business." The therapist dialogues with warmth and caring, yet remains "invisible," as the client is encouraged to interact with the field (environment). The client must think of him- or herself as an abstract area in a limitless "field," thus, therapy is "unpredictable," or follows moment to moment dictum. (Doermann, 2002)"

From the Paper
" Family therapist, Walter Kempler, worked for a brief time with pioneering Gestalt therapist Fritz Perls who greatly influenced the development of Kempler's concepts of dealing with whole families in therapeutic situations. Although the two agreed on many principles, Kempler finally parted professional company with Perls on the issue of the therapist's involvement in the sessions. Perls thought that the therapist should be outside the immediate encounter, and Kempler believed that the therapist should not hide behind any device whatsoever (Kempler, 1973, p. 13).
Kempler, Perls, and others important in the field of family work--Virginia Satir and Murray Bowen--held that the family constellation is the most valuable and appropriate unit for(...)"

From the Paper
"Humanistic theories and related therapies including client-centered or person-centered therapy regard people as unique, self-determined and worthy of respect and see human development as guided by a variety of human needs. Key humanistic theorists include Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, both of whom take a holistic view of human growth that attempts to account for all of the diverse aspects of human experience. Humanistic theories propose that individuals pursue self-actualization and the acquisition of unconditional positive regard..."

"Therapists who use brief therapy have specific tasks to accomplish with their clients. They have to learn skills and techniques used with solution-focused therapies. It helps for them to be open to new ideas regarding how to guide people to actively make changes in their lives. They need to be able to use several approaches with skill and flexibility, as a client may become stuck and need an innovative way to move forward."

Abstract
This paper contrasts both traditional psychoanalysis and a newer tradition, behavioral family therapy and looks at their applicability in different situations. The author explains that psychoanalysis, developed by Freud, helps the client gain more awareness and understanding of their inner world including motivations. The author points out that behavioral family therapy, a melding of behavior therapy and family therapy, assumes that all behavior is learned, or conditioned, and can be unlearned and changed and that the family, viewed as a system, is the focus of this learning.

"While they both emphasize family, they do so in very different ways. In psychoanalysis, the therapeutic arrangement is between the therapist and the individual. Family members are not brought into the therapeutic alliance. In family therapy, the family is the unit that works with the therapist. The family is not separated out, but placed at the center of the working process."

Abstract
Distinguishing between types of therapies is beneficial for those seeking to make change within social settings with specific or unique needs. Family centered therapies are one of the many different therapy strategies that can be applied to facilitate change. However while individual therapy tends to be defined as a relationship between two individuals with the purpose of achieving therapeutic change, the family systems therapy approach takes a more integrated process towards the close social units in which the individual seeking therapy resides. This paper identifies differences between the traditional individual therapy style of therapy and the family systems therapy approach.

An examination of applying object relations therapy in family therapy sessions.

Abstract
This paper contends that many clinical skills using object relations therapy, which previously were only employed with one-on-one individual sessions, or couples in session, can in fact transfer to family work. The paper states that the training that professionals receive through their work with individuals is the single greatest asset for family work. The paper shows several approaches to - and philosophies toward - object relations therapy, all of which can seamlessly, logically be applied to family object relations therapy as well.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The general framework of object relations theory provides researchers and therapists "with the means for understanding the earliest developmental phases of childhood," according to Samuel Slipp (Object Relations: A Dynamic Bridge Between Individual and Family Treatment). And further, object relations "studies the attachment and differentiation from others," which is of value not merely for the individual, but for the family, and the social interaction that is part of individuals in families, Slipp continues (3-4). Slipp's book takes the point of view that until recently, object relations theory has only been applied on individuals, but that now there is a "broadening" of focus to apply its concepts to "family studies." These family studies using object relations seek "pathogenic factors in the family" that influence the patient. Slipp notes that "object relations" is "an unfortunate choice" of terms (41), because the word "object" sounds too mechanical and "dehumanized.""
