Upcoming Events

Join us for a discussion about internal and external conflicts for African-American sexual minorities that are created when religious and sexual orientation identities do not reconcile with each other. Learn about coping strategies used to bring about a more harmonious coexistence of those separate identities and how ministers are actively counseling African-American sexual minorities to bring about spiritual healing and identity cohesion. Presentation and discussion 8:00am - 9:15am. Breakfast will be served.

Please RSVP by May 14th to ce@adler.edu.

The Institute on Social Exclusion at the Adler School is pleased to announce the Social Exclusion Simulation dates for the Summer term. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to attend. There is limited space available, you can reserve your seat on a first-come-first-serve basis.

To participate, you must RSVP in advance. Since there are several simulation events, please include the date you wish to attend.

About the Social Exclusion Simulation:

The ISE developed an experiential role play exercise called the 'Social Exclusion Simulation' with the purpose of illustrating what social structures are, how they operate, and how they can systematically block some groups' access to rights, resources, and opportunities required for social integration. The Simulation uses reentry experiences of formerly incarcerated women to illustrate how some community’s efforts at social integration are systematically stymied by structural features of our society. The Simulation has proven to be a very effective tool for helping people to (1) change their outlooks and behaviors vis-à-vis important social issues; (2) question prevailing perceptions and assumptions; and (3) appreciate the limits on personal responsibility resulting from a context of constraining social structures and systems. If you are a PsyD student and you elect to exercise your right not to participate in the simulation, you may do so without any penalty. For more information please contact your faculty advisor.

The ASAA Career & Professional Development Committee and Career Transitions Center of Chicago is pleased to present the first in a three-workshop series. The focus of this workshop will be  the development of a values statement (otherwise known as an elevator pitch).

You need to be able to articulate what you want and what you offer. It is critical during a job search that you can clearly and compellingly convey how you impact an organization or group of people through what you offer. A value statement conveys career direction and distinguishes you in all situations. It helps others help you! Getting the word out about who you are and how you contribute is at the heart of the job search process. The values statement helps you with branding and positioning on your resume and LinkedIn profiles. We encourage all job-seekers to get your resume and join us for this interactive workshop.

This workshop is open to all Adler School students and alumni. RSVP by May 25th to alumni@adler.edu
 

Limit 30 participants (to ensure personalized attention and networking)
 

Cost is $20 for our alumni ($10 for students) for individual workshop, which includes training, resource packet and refreshments.

The beautiful city of Atlanta, Georgia will be the host site for the 2012 NASAP Conference. The theme this year is "Social Equality: Still a Challenge of Today" and is fitting for this historic city. This year's 60th Anniversary Conference will feature over 70 presentations by Adlerian experts in mental health, education, business and family education. Participants can earn up to 28.5 hours of continuing education from APA or NBCC for participating in both days of the conference and attending pre-conference and post-conference workshops.

Dr. Lynn Todman, Executive Director of the ISE, is the Ansbacher lecture for the NASAP Annual Conference in June. Previous Ansbacher Lectures include Dr. Rotter (inventor of locus of control), Dr. John Carlson (alum and international psychologist and APA award winner) and our own Dr. Harold Mosak.

The significance of Dr. Todman as the Ansbacher Lecturer: 

Heinz and Rowena Ansbacher both studied with Alfred Adler in New York and became the leading translators and promoters of Alfred Adler’s ideas.  In 1995, the four Ansbacher children donated money to the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology to pay for the fee and travel for the keynote speaker at the annual convention.  The speaker must be someone who promotes the topic or scholarship of Individual Psychology.  The Ansbacher’s lecture is always published in the Journal of Individual Psychology to preserve this historic event.
