The dust jacket has some wear, soiling and sticker residue. Inscribed on the fep by Terner. The inscription reads: "To the 'Aronsons-- With all best wishes and remembrances of the old days at 'Shimer-- - Janet Terner March 13, 1979". From the dust jacket: "In their timely and penetrating biography, Janet Terner and W. L. Pew trace the career of Rudolph Dreikus-psychiatrist, humanist, and educator-from his rebellious childhood and venturesome youth to his establishment of some of the most innovative methods and attitudes in American psychiatry." Janet R. Terner (b. 1938) is a fine-art photographer based in Delaware. Her photographs of Delaware nature and architecture have won numerous prizes. The polymathic Ms. Terner is also the author of The Courage to Be Imperfect: The Life and Work of Rudolf Dreikurs (1978), and worked for many years in the Library of Congress, where she edited and compiled a number of bibliographic reference works, including Biographical sources in the sciences. Terner attended Shimer College in Illinois at the age of 16 (thanks to Shimer's early entrant program), graduating in 1958. She holds a master's degree in the history of natural science from the University of Wisconsin. From the dust jacket: "W. L. Pew is a psychiatrist in Minneapolis as well as the associate editor of the Journal of Individual Psychology. He became involved in Adlerian psychology, with Dr. Dreikurs as its exponent, while he was a practicing pediatrician in Eugene, Oregon". Rudolf Dreikurs (February 8, 1897, Vienna - May 25, 1972, Chicago) was an Austrian psychiatrist and educator who developed psychologist Alfred Adler's system of individual psychology into a pragmatic method for understanding the purposes of reprehensible behavior in children and for stimulating cooperative behavior without punishment or reward. He suggested that human misbehavior is the result of feeling a lack of belonging to one's social group. When this happens the child acts from one of four "mistaken goals": undue attention, power, revenge or avoidance (inadequacy). His overall goal was that students would learn to cooperate reasonably without being penalized or rewarded because they would feel that they are valuable contributors to the classroom. In 1952, Dreikurs organized a group of followers of Adlerian Psychology to found the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology. He was an active leader in the organization until his death.
