Neo-Adlerian
Neo-Adlerian psychologists are those working in the tradition of, or influenced by Alfred Adler, an early associate of, and dissident from the ideas of, Sigmund Freud.
Education
Neo-Adlerian ideas have been identified in the field of education, associated particularly with the work of Rudolf Dreikurs.Z. Miller, Re-Theorizing Discipline in Education (2010) p. 15-6 The neo-Adlerian classroom model stresses the importance of the student's search for feelings of belonging.[http://ehlt.flinders.edu.au/education/DLiT/2006/Kylie/fkpage4.htm 'Neo-Adlerian model']
Neo-Freudians
Fritz Wittels used the term 'neo-Adlerian' to refer derogatively to the Neo-Freudians, due to their emphasis on the social aspects of psychology.{{cite journal | url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2769857 | jstor=2769857 | last1=Wittels | first1=Fritz | title=The Neo-Adlerians | journal=American Journal of Sociology | date=1939 | volume=45 | issue=3 | pages=433–445 | doi=10.1086/218313 | url-access=subscription }} Heinz Ansbacher however sought to capture the Neo-Freudians as neo-Adlerians, to promote Adler's influence.Heinz L. and Rowena Ansbacher eds., Superiority and Social Interest (1964) Henri Ellenberger would later adjudge that what he called the neo-psychoanalysts like Karen Horney and Erich Fromm would indeed more accurately be known as neo-Adlerians.Henri F. Ellenberger, The Discovery of the Unconscious (1970) p. 637-41
Transactional analysis (TA) has also been termed a neo-Adlerian schoolErika Stern, TA, the state of the art (1984) p. 4 and p. 31 – Eric Berne himself acknowledging that "of all those who preceded transactional analysis, Alfred Adler comes the closest to talking like a script analyst".Eric Berne, What Do You Say After You Say Hello? (1974) p. 58 A direct line of influence runs from Adler through Harry Stack Sullivan to Thomas Anthony HarrisThomas A. Harris, I'm OK – You're OK (1969) p. 68 – one of the co-creators of TABerne, p. xvi – with Adler's ideas on guiding fictions and the sense of inferiority feeding into Berne's concept of psychological games,Harris, p. 76 and p. 67 which can also be considered in terms of the interactions of different life style systems.Ellenberger, p. 643
