ADLER and DISEASE & IILLNESS
Mary O'Malley
Deirdre Commins
Adler's Early History
- Younger brother died in his bed when he was 3
- Almost died from pneumonia aged 5 heard doctors say he was going to die
- Suffered from rickets as a child
- Fulfilled childhood determination when he received his medical degree in 1895
Adler the Psychiatrist
- Believed that their were three gateways to
the personality:
Dreams (day or night)
Early Recollections
Family Constellation
Body Mind Spirit
- Took holistic approach towards helping
people become human becomings
- Believed in cause and effect - where
something is wrong in one part of our
being it has an impact on all others
- "WE ARE DESIGNED TO BE HAPPY,
HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS – IT IS
OUR BIRTHRIGHT"
Adler – What Life Could Mean To You
"Imperfect organs offer many handicaps but these handicaps are by no means an inescapable fate. If the mind is active on its own part and trains hard to overcome difficulties, the individual may well succeed in being as successful as those who were originally less burdened"
E.G. Theodore Roosevelt
Disease⁄lllness
-
Medical Model
"An interruption, cessation or disorder of body functions, systems, organs.
Syn: illness, morbus, sickness."
Landemanns Medical Dictionary |
-
Holistic Model
".. is abnormal or
inharmonious
vibration of the
elements and forces
composing the human
entity on one or more
Plains of being"
Mary O'Malley |
Medicine
..seeks to heal the body
without recognising the
energy of the soul that lies
behind the health or illness
of the body and therefore
cannot heal the soul.
Psychology
..seeks to heal the personality
without recognising the force
of the soul that lies behind the
configuration and experiences
of the personality and
therefore cannot heal at the
level of the soul.
In order to develop and nurture your mind and body it
is necessary to realise that you have a mind and a body. So it is for the soul.
