Abstract      This article focuses on the work of A. Adler and R. Dreikurs and includes clarifications of Dreikurs as a therapist and teacher. Certain aspects have set Individual Psychology apart from other theories, and the author discusses issues that are crucial both for psychology and for society in the new millennium. The author discusses Dreikurs’s emphases on social equality as an extension of the concept of social interest and community feeling; the importance of the group and group processes as extensions of the concept of holism and as providing the necessary context for understanding and changing an individual’s short-term and long-term goals; and the importance of private logic and the identification of mistaken beliefs and apperceptions.
