Answer: What is North American Society for Adlerian Psychology mean?

The North American Society of Adlerian Psychology (NASAP) was created in 1952 and is the primary organization in the United States for the promotion of the psychological and philosophical theories of Alfred Adler, known as Adlerian Psychology or Individual psychology. Adler was a one-time collaborator with Sigmund Freud in the early days of the psychoanalytic movement who split with Freud to develop his own theories of psychology and human functioning.

In the late 1940s a group of psychiatrists and psychologists in Chicago, under the leadership of Rudolf Dreikurs, among others, founded an informal group to carry on discussion and teaching of theories and techniques of Adler. This early Adlerian organization became the Individual Psychology Association of Chicago, which quickly grew until it became the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology.

The current headquarters of the organization is in Canton, GA. Members are students and practitioners of Adlerian psychology (or individual psychology), coaches, parents, educators, and family members. Members are primarily concentrated in the United States and Canada, but there are also members from Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, countries in Europe, Israel, Iran, China, Taiwan, Romania, and Japan. NASAP holds annual conferences in North American cities where practitioners share Adlerian counseling, education, and parenting techniques and theory.
