The Adler Institute

The Adler Institute (מכון אדלר) is a non-profit association based in Kfar Saba, Israel, dedicated to applying and teaching the Adlerian approach to psychology. Founded in 1963 by a group of psychologists, educators and social workers led by Prof. Rudolf Dreikurs, a student of Alfred Adler, it is the largest and pioneering Adlerian institute in Israel and one of the largest among the worldwide network of Adler Institutes. The institute operates in three main life circles: family (parenting and couplehood), work, and community/society. Its activities include individual, couple and family therapy; parent counseling; professional training programs in parent guidance, psychotherapy and coaching; organizational consulting for schools, organizations and authorities; and community projects such as volunteering in prisons and emergency support for parents and reservists. The institute has been holding an annual conference on Adlerian psychology since 2005, attracting participants from around the world. It is headquartered in Kfar Saba (until 2013 in Herzliya) and has branches in Haifa, Rishon LeZion and an online branch. The institute is governed by a friends' assembly, a board of directors and professional management. The board chair is Adv. Amos Gabrieli, and the CEO is Ayelet Hillel.

The Adler Institute in Israel was founded in 1963 by a group of psychologists, educators and social workers led by Prof. Rudolf Dreikurs, a student of Alfred Adler. It was the first institution in Israel in the field of parent guidance and group facilitation, and it established the first School for Parents in the country. The institute is part of a global network of Adler Institutes that began with professional communities interested in Adler's teachings in Vienna before World War I, and later in Germany, England, the United States and other countries in the 1920s and early 1930s. After Adler's death in 1937, his daughter Alexandra continued the work. In 1952, the Adler institution was re-founded as the International Association of Individual Psychology. Since then, Adlerian training and treatment institutes have been established throughout the Western world. The Israeli institute has been operating for decades, promoting positive relationships in three life circles: family, work and society. It has been holding an annual conference on Adlerian psychology since 2005. The institute was located in Herzliya until 2013, when it moved to Kfar Saba. It also has branches in Haifa, Rishon LeZion and an online branch. The institute is a non-profit association governed by a friends' assembly, a board of directors and professional management. As of January 2021, the chairman of the board is Dr. Adv. Amos Gabrieli.
