trategiesAlthough an abundance of Adlerian child guidance materials
have helped educators, therapists, and parents, many still hunger for
greater depth, and more creative, effective ways to guide children
toward cooperation and contribution

"Educating Children for Cooperation & Contribution, Volume II,"
available at http://home.att.net/~Adlerian/ecc-v2.htm, contains an
abundance of practical and inspirational Adlerian child guidance
resources. In "The Work of an Adlerian Psychologist in the Schools,"
Anthony Bruck, who studied with Alfred Adler, explains the value of
written essays, class discussions about behavioral problems, and
individual interviews with students. Many illustrations demonstrate
the art of questioning children Socratically, leading them gradually
to useful insight. In “Enlightening Children,” Bruck shows us how to
use a simple strategy of clarifying attitudinal and behavioral
choices, using graphic clarifiers. His "Ten Commandments of Creative
Education,” are designed to encourage positive attitudes toward the
self, others, difficulties, and the other sex. 

Also included in this volume are three articles by Alfred Adler that
emphasize the central importance of preparing children with the right
attitude toward difficulties, and an article by Theodore Grubbe
providing a host of practical suggestions for helping children adjust
to the school environment. A set of condensed charts summarize the
impact of various teaching styles on students, as well as strategies
for dealing with their mistaken goals. Finally, a summary of Adlerian
child guidance principles for teachers offers a clear focus on the
most effective educational-psychological approach for eliciting
cooperation in the classroom. 

Teachers, parents, and therapists will discover a treasure of
creative, child guidance strategies that bring Adler's unique,
original legacy to life.  Order your copy of "Educating Children for
Cooperation & Contribution, Volume II" now, at
