Discuss the role of the client when being treated by an Adlerian therapist.

What will be an ideal response?


The client’s role is one of equal collaborator in discovering mistaken goals, inferiority feelings, and superiority
feelings. Clients work to become more courageous in their lives, more self-confident, and believe that solutions can be found to life’s challenges. Clients seek actively to find solutions to their presenting problems. They understand that the true solutions to their issues reside within themselves rather than within the therapist. Clients may be given simple homework assignments to complete and to bring to.
