Therapist: Thank you. Adlerian Brief Therapy 22 Client: I was happy to see them. I enjoyed being with them, and I let them know that. Therapist: You were happy to see all of them? Client: Yeah, I was. Therapist: Even those trouble makers? Client: Yeah, I enjoyed those little troublemakers. Therapist: What’d you enjoy about the little devils? Client: I enjoyed their, what’s the word . . . their ability, their creativity, I guess. Therapist: So who was the most creative troublemaker you ever met? Client: Oh, boy. Therapist: You’re the oldest child in your family aren’t you? Client: No, I’m the youngest. Therapist: The youngest? Then you have no business having this perfectionism. Did you have nothing but derelicts above you? [Use of humor to facilitate therapeutic relationships also helps the client to step back and re-assess her rules of interaction.] Client: I had two brothers. Therapist: So you did have nothing but derelicts. Okay, we’ll just set a couple of ground rules. If I make the mistake, which I could, and say, “What’s the most, what’s the best, what’s the
Adlerian Brief Therapy 23 biggest?”: just ignore me. Just pick anything, because otherwise you will be searching your memory for the most important one, and I’m down to thirty minutes. So just pick one. Pick one of the great troublemakers of your time. Client: Ok. Well, I can remember way back in my very beginning years as a counselor. I was in Junior High, and this kid would come in to see me everyday, and he’d do that just to get out of class, but I really enjoyed being with him. The teachers hated him, so they were glad to get rid of him, and it turned out everybody was happy. Therapist: What did you do with him? Client: We just talked about whatever he wanted to talk about. Therapist: Mm, hmm. Did he trust you right away? Client: I think so. Therapist: Why? Client: Because I’m a trustworthy person. I don’t know. Therapist: Could be, but you must have done something to demonstrate that, because all the other people who looked like you were teachers, and he hated them. Client: That’s true. I guess I was probably a good excuse to get out of class. Therapist: What did you do?
