However, the world remains far from peaceful. Distant wars, looming conflicts, economic instability, and the sweeping changes of our time continue to cause suffering. Yet, amid this turmoil, individuals remain interconnected, supporting and healing one another. A century ago, amidst a period of great turbulence, Alfred Adler introduced the theory of Individual Psychology, which profoundly influenced future generations. His theory emphasized social interest, the holistic understanding of the human being, and pioneered the concept of purposeful behavior. A hundred years later, across the ocean in Taiwan, a dedicated group of individuals has been quietly applying Adler’s psychological principles to various fields, including child therapy, school education, addressing violenc

We continued to breathe, move, eat, laugh, and live our lives as we always had, but there was a subtle shift in our being. It was as if our hope for the future had diminished, while our faith in people had grown stronger. During the pandemic, we faced a dilemma between embracing change and maintaining the status quo. While we reduced physical interactions with others, we strengthened our spiritual connections. We abandoned traditional methods of learning but enhanced our proficiency with technology. Amidst the turmoil and uncertainty, we redefined the value of life and explored the essence of relationships. Through experiences o

發佈： 2021-03-20 13:59   TSAP 2021 Annual Conference Spirituality: From Individual to Community   Description of the Concept of Seminars “Spirituality: From Individual to Community”According to individual psychology, spirituality is defined as the conscious pursuit of life’s wholeness. This is not characterized by self-alienation or self-absorption, but rather by self-transcendence—an ongoing effort to strive toward one’s core values. Everyone desires a smooth and fulfilling life, yet the saying, ‘Nine out of ten things in life don’t go as hoped,’ reminds us that we will inevitably face challenges and hardships. How these experiences shape an individual largely depends on their personal beliefs and lifestyle. The way one perceives difficulties and pain plays a crucial role. Whether a person chooses to confront or avoid life’s challenges, and ultimately acts out of self-interest or with social responsibility, hinges on maintaining a healthy mind, body, and s

We seek recognition because we desire a sense of belonging.” Balancing recognition from others, self-acceptance, and integration into a community—while also striving for personal fulfillment and spiritual growth—is a lifelong task. This ongoing process is essential to completing the meaning of our lives, and it is something we must learn and refine throughout our entire existence.

發佈： 2019-03-27 13:13 Overview of the 2019 TSAP Annual Conference and Presentations The Individual, Family, and Society: From Brokenness to Transformation   What are the shared childhood experiences among children with problematic behaviors, individuals with depression or anxiety who experience suicidal thoughts, alcohol and drug abusers, those suffering from psychosis or related disorders, and socially aggressive or even criminal individuals? How have family dynamics and school environments influenced their social development? Furthermore, how do Adlerian concepts such as low self-esteem, social interest, family atmosphere, behavioral goals, life styles, and a sense of belonging contribute to our understanding of whether an individual’s response to life’s challenges is healthy or dysfunctional? TSAP invites professionals from counseling, education, family therapy, social work, psychotherapy, and medicine, along with interested stakeholders, to explore how to build a support syst
