ICASSI THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF ADLERIAN SUMMER

SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTES A BRIEF HISTORY
ICASSI (the International Committee of Adlerian Summer Schools and Institutes) is a non-prot educational organization whose objective is to help professionals, students, and lay persons learn the teachings of Adler and Dreikurs and master appropriate skills, and to teach Adlers and Dreikurs principles and methods where professional and personal development opportunities are needed. Alfred Adler, a young colleague of Sigmund Freud in the early years of the 20th Century, developed a psychiatric and educational treatment and prevention approach that today would be called a strength-based and community-oriented psychology. The emphasis was on the fundamental motivation of human beings to belong and to contribute to the larger society in which they live. Rudolf Dreikurs, a younger colleague of Adler, established ICASSI and the Summer Institute in 1962. Dreikurs created ICASSI because of his ongoing dedication to spreading the teachings of Adler to people around the world, not only as a psychological method of treatment, but as a philosophy of life. In his early days of practicing psychiatry in Vienna, Dreikurs saw the need to extend his oce into the community. He was convinced that use of Adlerian education methods in the home and in the school would enable children to reach a higher level of functioning. He believed they would develop a greater sense of their own strength and ability, and would learn the responsibility of citizenship in a free world. He was also convinced that prevention was more important than treatment. From his immediate community, Dreikurs extended his work to the nation and then internationally, starting with his rst visit to Brazil in 1937 and again in 1946. He moved to the United States in 1937, working internationally in Israel in 1959 and holding the rst International Summer School in Denmark in 1962. He visualized the acceptance of social interest among a steadily widening group of people world-wide, who would experience living in harmony and peace. It was Dreikurs hope to hold the Summer Institute in a dierent country each year wherever there was a group in need of impetus to grow.

THEORY AND PRACTICE OF ADLER AND DREIKURS: IN A NUTSHELL

Adlerian psychology is holistic (each of us is a unique whole person), social, and purposive (human action is understood in terms of self-set goals, of which we usually are not aware). Mental health is understood in terms of a persons or a communitys striving for contribution, equality, and mutual respect between individuals and between groups. Based on many decades of eective methods for prevention and treatment of psychological and social problems, Adlerian theory and practices oer concrete steps for improved human relationships in the family, school, and workplace, and in multi-national interactions.

THE ICASSI MISSION:

Using the theory and practice of Individual Psychology as learned through the teachings of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs: Reach out to others through education, training, dialogue, and experience Enhance the spirit of social interest, sharing, and cooperation, and foster equality by making a common eort to eliminate the barriers between nationalities, age groups, genders, religions, social classes, races, professions, and any other articial distinctions by which humans believe themselves to be divided Stimulate leadership in dierent countries and help potential and existing leaders in their eorts to establish a world of peace and cooperation

FOR WHOM IS ICASSI INTENDED?

ICASSI oers a stimulating environment in which professionals, individuals, couples, and families learn within a diverse international collegial community. It provides unique instruction and experiential learning for professional and personal development provided by an international faculty. It is designed for: Counselors & Psychotherapists Psychologists & Social Workers Teachers & Educators Business Professionals Coaches Clergy People interested in understanding themselves & their relationships Birth, Foster & Adoptive Families Children & Youths Early Childhood Educators Health-Care Professionals Students at all levels People interested in the psychology of Alfred Adler & Rudolf Dreikurs The ICASSI program is unique in providing the highest quality of professional education in an enriching social environment. Participants choose from a wide range of courses in the theory and techniques of Adler and Dreikurs, with application to counseling and therapy, business, schools, families, the community, and the workplace. Experiential workshops provide professional training for the practitioner and opportunities for personal growth to all participants. As encouragement, cooperation and respect are fundamental Adlerian concepts, all workshops follow codes of condentiality. 4

ICASSI is proud of its foundation on a psychology with roots in two languages, and provides translation to help participants share in the learning and exchange of ideas. ICASSI values the cultural and linguistic diversity that is fundamental to its success, and celebrates the more than 20 nations that participate each year.

In addition, ICASSI participants are given the opportunity to present seminars on issues of concern to them through Special Interest sessions. Participants come to ICASSI from around the world, typically from over twenty dierent countries. Recreational and multi-cultural exchanges are therefore integral parts of the ICASSI experience and contribute to a strong sense of fellowship and connectedness. Social activities also provide opportunities for the exchange of ideas, viewpoints, stories, songs and laughter. For parents wishing to bring their families, there are courses for teenagers and an excellent childrens program for 4-11 year olds under the supervision of multilingual and multi-cultural leaders.

CHILDREN AND YOUTHS PROGRAMS

ICASSI oers a unique, international, educational program for children and youths. While the parents are learning the theory of Individual Psychology in the morning lectures and learning to use it during Blocs II and III, qualied teachers will lead the children playfully into the basics of Individual Psychology. There is a special value to having a bi-lingual (English and German) experience in this childrens program, as children become more culturally aware and comfortable in a global society. The objective of the teachers is to encourage children to condently nd their place in the group and to design the way the group functions with the other children and teachers. The educational world of ICASSI is determined from people learning with each other about the world around them. Here the approach is Help me do it by myself with others in a way that my abilities will contribute to the community. Parents are included in this process. The Childrens Program is open to children ages 4 to 11 during Blocs 1, 2 and 3. Children must be at least 4 years old and toilet trained to participate in ICASSIs Childrens Program. The program is a unique opportunity for young people to learn and socialize in an encouraging atmosphere. The leaders are bi-lingual and the children have an exciting opportunity to make friends with young people from diverse cultures of many nations from around the world. ICASSI also oers programs for youths ages 12 to 17. During Blocs 1 and 3 there are recreational programs, while Bloc 2 oers a personal development course for youths 12 to 17. Youths 15 to 17 may also participate in adult courses unless otherwise stated. Parents are responsible for their children and youths at all times, and are expected to be clear about rules, boundaries and expected behavior. Parents of children under 4 years of age must make their own arrangements for child care. ICASSI does not provide care to this age group. Information to help parents nd resources may be provided on request.

PARENT MEETINGS: Sta running the programs for children and youth will be
available during registration to meet with parents and respond to their questions. Parents and their children and youths are asked to meet with program sta on the Monday of each week.

ACCOMMODATIONS: Room and Board This year accommodation fees at the Alpin and Condor Hotels include room as well as breakfast and dinner, opening reception, farewell dinner, coee breas and administrative fees. Some good news for cost-conscious families is that the Hotel Alpin allows one child 14 or under to sleep in the room of a parent or sibling on a cot or sleeping bag provided by the parents; hence the No Bed category under rates below. This applies ONLY to a child age 14 or under sleeping in a room of a parent or sibling. 39
