Today, I interview another one of our Adlerian greats, Dr Jon Sperry.  Jon is a multi-generational Adlerian like myself.  He joined me on the podcast to talk about how he uses drumming in a variety of ways and settings to build community, social interest and co-operation.  Trust me, you’ll want to dust off your bongo drums as soon as you hear this.  

Check out more about Jon on his website.  Or at LinkedIn

So excited to bring you a great convo with my Adlerian colleague Calvin, about his book that was launched this month. I had an advance copy and was blown away! Calvin is a Senior Associate at Travelers Rest Counseling Associates in Travelers Rest, SC, where he counsels young adults, couples, and parents. He regularly lectures on Adlerian psychology at regional universities, and facilitates training workshops both locally and internationally.  

Calvin sheds light into how Adlerians conceptualize cooperation and the pitfalls of competitiveness that interferes with family life and personal growth.
