Organization
Founded in 1952, Adler School of Professional Psychology is the oldest independent school of psychology in North America. The School is named after Alfred Adler (1870-1937), the first community psychologist, who was the first to do group counseling, family counseling, and public mental health education, and who began community, preventative, and positive psychologies. Adler School is committed to continuing the work of Alfred Adler by producing socially responsible graduates, by providing holistic services to individuals and communities, and by promoting social justice.
Our innovative program curricula prepare socially responsible practitioners by promoting social justice through education and training.
