Our Mission
The South Carolina Society of Adlerian Psychology (SCSAP) was founded in 1974. Originally known as The Columbia Adlerian Society, the Society nurtured the spread of Adlerian Psychology across South Carolina. The Society held its first Fall Conference in Myrtle Beach, SC in 1982. We have hosted national and international speakers and supported the spread of Adlerian Theory not only in the United States, but around the world.
Our purpose is to promote the knowledge, training and teaching of the Individual Psychology of Dr. Alfred Adler. “Individual Psychology” is the name given to his theory by Dr. Adler. Adler believed in holism, that the human being was “in-divisible”, not reduce to Freudian concepts such as id, ego and superego. Our membership includes educators, psychologists, business people, counselors, social workers, family therapists, childcare workers, parents and students.
SCSAP supports the enlistment and involvement of all people who support the philosophy and principles of Individual Psychology.
Membership
Membership in the South Carolina Society of Adlerian Psychology is FREE. What a deal!
The Society is funded by the annual conference so no dues are collected.
