The Journal of Individual Psychology

Last updated

History

The journal's roots can be traced to Zeitschrift für Individualpsychologie founded by Alfred Adler in 1914 (Germany). [8] [9] Publication was interrupted by the first world war, and resumed in 1923 under the name Internationale Zeitschrift für Individualpsychologie. [10]

Adler immigrated to America in 1935 and established the International Journal of Individual Psychology, published in Chicago. [11] [12] After Adler's death in 1937, the journal was edited by his daughter, Alexandra Adler, [13] and then by Rudolf Dreikurs. [9] Individual Psychology News was published in 1940 renaming itself Individual Psychology Bulletin from 1941 to 1951. [14] When the American Society of Adlerian Psychology was incorporated in 1952, it took over the publication under the title American Journal of Individual Psychology (1952 to 1956). [15] [16]

In 1957, Heinz Ansbacher took over as editor and it was renamed Journal of Individual Psychology. [17] [18] The new, broader editorial policy and focus was announced, calling for papers related to a "holitistic, teleological, phenemological, and socially-oriented approach, based on the assumptions of an active creative self, an open dynamic system of motivation, and an innate potential for social living." [19] The first issue included an article by Albert Ellis among others, and a paper written by Alfred Adler in 1937, the year of his death. [19] This title, Journal of Individual Psychology was used from 1957 to 1973. [20] The journal was noted for maintaining high academic standards covering topics such as the teleological approach to personality and in the tradition of Adler's socially oriented approach psychology. [17] In 1982, The Journal of Individual Psychology merged with Individual Psychologist and was published under new name and format, Individual Psychology: The Journal of Adlerian Theory, Research & Practice. [21] [22] In 1998, it was renamed back to Journal of Individual Psychology. [23]
