The author demonstrates the technique of questioning and how to make guesses about a client's psychological movement and life style.  A specific case example is provided to illustrate the process of guessing the client's private logic, psychological movement, scheme of apperception and life style.  The conclusion summarizes some of Adler's theoretical constructs used during treatment.

The following demonstrations by Sophie de Vries (1901 - 1999) include process commentary by Henry Stein in order to clarify the strategies and logic behind each of the therapist's responses to a client's statements. The "clients" are volunteers dealing with a single issue in a workshop demonstration.

The authors demonstrate how a thorough intake procedure can prepare the therapist for effective therapy.  They apply the Classical Adlerian diagnostic process in their conjoint work with a client family.  Case examples are used to illustrate the components: demonstrating its context, providing session content, and sharing some of the initial questioning.  The article concludes with a case assessment featuring lifestyle interactions and a tentative treatment plan.
