School Magazine

A Magazine for Alumni and Friends

Published annually, Gemeinschaftsgefühl features compelling accounts of the impact our socially responsible students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends are making on their communities—as well as news, initiatives and events of the Adler School.

Gemeinschaftsgefühl, or social interest, is the Adlerian term used to describe one’s connectedness and interest in the well-being of others that enhances or pre-conditions psychological health. It is also the revolutionary notion that Alfred Adler proposed in turn-of-the-century Vienna that drives the Adler School’s ground-breaking and far-reaching curricula and commitment to community engagement.
