Early Recollections and Social Interest Mia Levitt-Frank

Early recollections, metaphoric narratives representing individuals’ lifestyles, also illustrate the unique way each individual expresses social interest. Social interest is a core concept in Individual Psychology, paramount to mental health. Focusing awareness on social interest in early recollections may assist practitioners in encouraging and developing social interest with clients. This lecture will explore various expressions of social interest that may be found in early recollections. In addition, participants will practice identifying and creating dialogue around components of social interest expressed in early recollections.
