ABSTRACT
As clinicians and practitioners, Adlerians employ narrative as a tool to facilitate psychological growth and healing. Whether it is parents using Adlerian parenting methods, counselors and therapists in the consulting room, teachers in the classroom or Adlerian writers drawing on the rich texts of their diverse literature, it is tacitly recognized that language and narrative are pinnacle to an understanding psychology. This essay examines the philosophical ideas that underpin the use of narrative and qualitative methods.
