Adier's Need to Belong as the Key for Mental Health
Rachel Shifron
Abstract
According to Adier's (1932) Individual Psychology the inability to belong or to
connect with others results in pathology. In this essay the author presents several
case studies that highlight the need to belong as a primary issue in therapy. The case
descriptions include therapy with an individual, a couple, a client with addiction
issues, a cross-cultural couple, and a mother and daughter-in-law. The case materi-
als presented in this article reveal that individuals with psychological disorders can
lessen their psychopathology by learning more effective methods to promote belong-
ing. Adlerian methods and interventions to promote belonging are discussed.
In Adier's (1932, 1991) Individual Psychology every child is born with
the need to belong and with the ability to connect with others. Acquiring
the methods of connecting involves a learning process. This kind of learning
is the key for well-being. It is essential that one belongs and is connected
to three significant groups in one's circle of life. I expand Adier's descrip-
tion of the life tasks (Dreikurs, 1950) to refer to these significant groups as
being family, friends, and work associates. Feeling a sense of belonging to
these groups is the primary universal issue of mental health. Individuals with
psychological disorders can lessen their psychopathology by learning more
effective methods to belong.
This article reflects my many years of counseling and therapy from an
Individual Psychology perspective (Shifron, 2006, 2008). My clinical experi-
ences have shown me the universality of the need to belong, and I believe
this paper offers an exceptional opportunity for clinicians from different
theoretical approaches to learn more about Adier's optimistic and brilliant
perspective. Adier's Individual Psychology is based on the conceptualization
that psychopathology results from the lack of feeling belonging. This is an
optimistic view, because the absence of feeling belonging is a curable situ-
ation. According to Adier's theory (Ferguson, 2006), every individual makes
choices. In this paper I focus on the belief that every individual is capable
and creative and that by making different kinds of choices, each person can

MONICA’S POST:
I used to think that culture was the values and beliefs of a group of people. But our text helps to understand what culture is. According to our text “culture is defined as the relatively specialized lifestyle of a group of people that is passed on from one generation to the next through communication not through genes” (Devito, J.A., 2016, Sec. 2.1). In order to understand culture we can look at values, beliefs, language, and their way of communicating. We must look at the differences from culture to culture such as is it individualistic or collectivist orientation, the power structure, masculinity and femininity, their tolerance for ambiguity, orientation and indulgence and restraint. (Devito, J.A., 2016). All of these factors influence communication. “One reason why culture is so important is that interpersonal competence is culture specific, what proves effective in one culture may prove ineffective in another” (Devito, J.A., 2016, Sec. 2.1). We may have certain attitudes about things based on the culture we were raised in. In order to communicate effectively these attitudes and beliefs must be set aside. We have to have an open mind and see things from others perspectives. I was raised in a family that instilled good morals and values in me, I am a spiritual person not a religious one and I find all religions have one thing in common putting others needs before our own. I see everyone as my equal and have a positive outlook on life. I am mindful and considerate of others perspectives.
Cultural orientation is important for interpersonal communication when working as a human service professional for many reasons. First what is effective in one culture may be ineffective in another. Understanding the values that other cultures hold helps to promote effective communication. Understanding the religious beliefs of others is beneficial as well. For example if I was working with a client with SUD who was an Atheist and told them to look into spirituality or religion to help them find sobriety this might be offensive to them. So knowing their religious beliefs would be helpful in communicating with this client. The more we understand other cultures the better we will be at interpersonal communication with those individuals.

MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

3. Freire wrote about our ontological “vocation
to be fully human” and how it becomes
distorted by oppression.
Social justice involves processes of
humanization and affirmation of diversity in
the service of individual and collective
wellness.
Injustice is maintained where there is
dehumanization and compromised wellness.
5. Fulfillment of Freire’s human vocation
involves an existential paradox
Central to this vocation to become fully
human includes
Awareness of oppression
Resistance to oppression
Liberation from oppression
Movement toward the transformation of
oppression
While simultaneously trying to “be fully
human”, and live authentically and
meaningfully in the context of oppression.
6. Interconnectedness and understanding of our
interdependence
across our diversities,
between the local and the global
Compassion for our shared humanity,
Critical Consciousness of our collective condition,
Involvement in the world with a sense of purpose
greater than ourselves
e.g., the dismantling of oppression and promotion of
wellness- individually, relationally, and collectively.
7. This central aim of this workshop is to introduce
the CO-EXIST approach experientially by
facilitating Communal and Contemplative (CoCo)
practices. CoCo practices, the actual
technologies of CO-EXIST work, emphasize
reflective, creative, and relational processes.
8. The COmmunity-EXISTential approach was
developed as a way of addressing our shared
calling to become more fully human in our
pursuit of wellness and social justice.
Community – Conscious Awareness of our
Interconnectedness, Relationality, Awareness of
our Interdependence
Existential – Experiential Awareness, Meaning-
Purpose, Authenticity, Challenge of the Human
Condition to Thrive and Maintain Our Humanity in
the Context of Limitations
9. Please write 4 words on your index card:
One word to describe a strength that you bring to
your personal and professional endeavors.
One word to describe something in the natural world
with which you feel strongly connected or identified
(e.g., color, flower, tree, animal, part of nature, a place etc.)
Choose One of the following words:
Illuminating Affirming Manifesting Mobilizing
Expressing Igniting Revealing Amplifying
Creating Radiating Liberating Engaging
One word to describe a central value in your life that
guides your decisions and ways of living or a word
that represents a vision that you have for our world.
10. FIRST NAME:

12. CO-EXIST is informed by PEaCE Theory
PEaCE = Person-Environment-and-Culture
Emergence
13. 1) Interconnectedness and Relationality
2) Complexity and Context
3) Culturally-Syntonic Engagement
4) Affirmative Humanization
5) Existential Meaning-Making
6) Empowerment and Liberation
7) Creative Transformation
14. How we conceptualize the specific practices that
bring the PEaCE principles to life
Examples we use
-Reflection and Writing
-Diverse Meditative Practices
-Expressive Arts
-Experiential Activities
- “Giving Testimony and Bearing Witness”
Developing the practices involves creativity to
maximize Person-Culture-Environment Fit
15. Communal and Contemplative
Practices support empowerment and
agency through engagement in
culturally-syntonic and values-
congruent behavior and action
Co-Co practices allow people to
access the energies of
interconnectedness, meaning, and
authenticity that fuel and sustain
action
16. Wellness-Promoting Transactions that
strengthen interconnectedness through
Identifying and facilitating connection
to integrated/holistic self, culture,
persons, humanity, nature, spirit,
ancestors, etc.
Nurturing interpersonal relationships
Fostering Sense of
Community/Belonging
Dialogue as the practice of love
17. Wellness-Promoting Transactions that
enhance experiential and critical
awareness of internal and external
conditions through
Attention to Being-in-Culture-in-the-
World transactional processes
Exploring meanings and values
Meditative, Reflective, and Creative
processes
Enhancing Critical Consciousness
18. Contemplative Practices can be thought of as
encompassing a variety of strategies for deepening
and expanding experiential and critical awareness
by bearing witness to one’s own experience, both
internally and in the world.
In the CO-EXIST approach, contemplative practices
are a culturally-diverse group of meditative and
consciousness practices that involve experiencing
and directing Mind-Body-Spirit energies.

19. CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICE refers to a
culturally-diverse family of methods involving
the intentional creation of temporal, mental,
and emotional space to practice the sustained
regulation of attention and facilitate intimate
connection with internal, relational, collective,
and/or spiritual experience, thus creating the
conditions for transformation and optimal
well-being to develop. (Harrell, 2013/14)

21. “Culture” because there are diverse contemplative
practices in many cultural and religious traditions and the
resonance and effectiveness of any meditative or
contemplative approach is a function of its congruence
with values, beliefs, and cultural worldview
“Context” because contemplative practices such as
meditation, like all human behavior, occurs in multiple
ecological contexts and these must be understood to
maximize the potential effectiveness of any particular
meditative or contemplative practice
“Liberation” because the meaningful core of all
contemplative practices is freedom in the context of the
challenges and boundaries of the human condition such
that the effectiveness of the practice is enhanced when it
remains connected to this ultimate purpose of liberation

28. Close your eyes and open your heart-mind.
Exhale into the present here-and-now moment.
Notice your internal experience by observing (without
evaluating) what is going on physically, mentally, emotionally,
and spiritually.
Trust in what matters most to you by bringing it to
consciousness using a meaningful word, an affirmation,
proverb, sacred text passage, image, symbol, etc..
Explore your choices.
Release what does not serve your highest purpose and return
to the situation more centered.

and is played out in outer terrains.
Awareness of our situation must come
before inner changes, which in turn
