Henry T. Stein Ph.D.

Henry T. Stein, Ph.D., is the leading advocate of Classical Adlerian psychology in the United States. Trained by Sophia de Vries and Anthony Bruck, both of whom studied with Alfred Adler, he has been training psychotherapists for over twenty years with an approach based on the original teachings and therapeutic style of Alfred Adler, as well as the clinical and philosophical writings of other Classical Adlerians--Kurt Adler, Lydia Sicher, Alexander Mueller, Erwin Wexberg, and Alexander Neuer. He is the director of the Classical Adlerian Translation Project, a translating-editing team dedicated to publishing the writings of Classical Adlerians. Since 1996, he has maintained a richly informative web site on the Internet at http://www.Adlerian.us providing articles, teaching graphics, transcriptions, video clips, and discussion forums. As the senior training analyst at the Alfred Adler Institute of San Francisco, he offers mentor-oriented distance training in Classical Adlerian psychotherapy, as well as case consultation. His own contributions to Adlerian clinical practice include a comprehensive adaptation of the Socratic method, a thorough exposition of the twelve stages of psychotherapy, and a therapeutic integration of Abraham Maslow's vision of optimal human development.
