This was a video discussion about Adlerian Principles with Eva Dreikurs Ferguson. She discusses how a person’s community greatly impacts the individual. If the community is autocratic and unsupportive, it leads to poor mental health in the individuals in the community. She believes that cooperation and democracy is the best way to keep individuals and community health. People need to feel that they belong in the community and that they are able to give to their communities and not be a burden. She speaks to how we are able to help create this sense of belonging in the community we work in.
