The School: An Overview

The Adler School of Professional Psychology is named for Alfred Adler (1870-1937), a physician, psychotherapist, and founder of Adlerian psychology. He is considered the first community psychologist because his work pioneered attention to community life, prevention, and population health. Adlerian psychology emphasizes the human need and ability to create positive social change and impact. Alfred Adler held equality, civil rights, mutual respect, and the advancement of democracy as core values. He was one of the first practitioners to provide family and group counseling and to use public education as a way to address community health. He was among the first to write about the social determinants of health and of mental health. Adler’s values and concepts drive the mission, work, and values at the Adler School today.

Today, the Adler School offers a wide array of graduate-level programs enrolling more than 1,200 students at campuses in Chicago, Illinois, Vancouver, British Columbia and online. In addition to education and training in psychological theory, science, and practice, students complete a range of required and elective experiences that extend beyond traditional practitioner training. The School’s mission-driven curricula have earned national and international recognition.

As the oldest independent psychology school in North America, the Adler School continues the pioneering work of Alfred Adler by graduating socially responsible practitioners, engaging communities, and advancing social justice.

The Skytrain's Millennium and Expo Lines are just one station away from Waterfront, where connections for the Sea Bus and West Coast Express are available. A major bus hub is also located at Burrard and Dunsmuir Streets, which is 20 minutes from the Vancouver International Airport. Located downtown in an area that is internationally known for its shopping (Robson Street, and the Pacific Centre Mall) and restaurants, we are also just moments away - either on foot or a brief bus ride - from theatres, the Art Gallery, Stanley Park, and English Bay Beach.

The School’s Mission

The Adler School of Professional Psychology continues the pioneering work of the first community psychologist Alfred Adler by graduating socially responsible practitioners, engaging communities, and advancing social justice.

The values held by Adler School as relevant to its mission, include the following:

Social Interest: We are part of and invested in community, and we act and collaborate with compassion and social responsibility.

Pluralism: We respect and celebrate human diversity and difference.

Courage: We encourage leadership, innovation, and creativity, act on principle, and challenge the status quo.

Excellence: We embrace the highest level of quality, rigor, and integrity for education, scholarship, performance and outcomes.

Pragmatism: We are outcome-oriented and evidence-based, and we pursue real-world solutions and measurable results.

Social Responsibility

Building on the work of Alfred Adler, the mission of the Adler School of Professional Psychology emphasizes the importance of educating socially responsible practitioners. Today’s social challenges demand highly trained, relevant, and inventive practitioners to address them. No other institution prepares practitioners in the particular way that the Adler School prepares socially responsible practitioners—because we are uniquely and specifically informed by Alfred Adler’s ideas and constructs. Gemeinschaftsgefühl—Adler’s concept of social interest, or the relationship between health and community—is the foundation upon which we engage in the work of social justice and preparing practitioners to work in our communities.

The ability to engage in socially responsible practice has been adopted as a required competency in all Adler School’s degree programs. Attainment of this competency is achieved through a combination of practical training, coursework, and other activities: the Community Service Practicum (CSP) offers students a broad range of community-based experiences; classes provide information on theories and research on the effects of structural and systemic variables on human well-being; and other educational activities provided by the Adler Community Health Services and the Institutes for Social Change, provide students with opportunities to learn how to identify and address a wide range of clinical and social issues.

Socially responsible practitioners possess knowledge, skills, and attitudes that allow them to:

Understand the role of social context in conditioning physical and behavioral health;

Integrate this understanding into their professional practice; and

Collaborate with others to reform social, political, and other structures and systems that adversely affect


well-being.

Nondiscrimination Policy

It is the policy of the Adler School of Professional Psychology that no person shall be the object of discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, marital status, parental status, family relationship status, physical or mental disability, military status or other status protected by local, state, or federal law in its employment or its educational settings, including all academic, required or School-sponsored activities, on or off campus. The Adler School reserves the right to take actions that are consistent with its policies and procedures to deal with individuals found to have engaged in harassment, discrimination and/or retaliation in violation of this policy.

The School maintains policies and procedures to support students in their academic endeavors. Policy statements regarding expectations of student behavior and procedural guidelines for resolution of problems are available to all students and to all members of the School community at www.adler.edu. Questions, concerns, or complaints regarding the School nondiscrimination policy or protection against discrimination should be directed to the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs or the Associate Vice President of Human Resources and will be handled according to Adler School policies and procedures.

Diversity

Celebrating the richness of human diversity is at the heart of Adler School's commitment to social responsibility and is reflected in the content of our curricula and makeup of our community. Apparent differences in race, ethnicity, language, religion, values, beliefs, disabilities, class, sexuality, gender, and age are woven into the fabric of excellence at Adler School. At every level of our organization, we invite and embrace diversity of faculty, staff, students, sponsors, trustees, vendors, and our wide range of business partners. The curricula for all programs provide the opportunity for students to acquire knowledge, skills, and values related to individual and group diversity. Field placements for clinical training are available in areas where the clientele is partly or primarily from traditionally underserved groups.

Recruitment and retention of a diverse student body is important to prepare students to enter a world in which the understanding of individual and cultural diversity is essential for peace and progress. Student organizations provide support and fellowship for members of diverse and marginalized groups. Our commitment to honoring diversity is not only a concept, it is practiced.
