(literally) “community engagement” or “social interest,” this Adlerian term is used to describe one’s connectedness and interest in the well-being of others that enhances or pre-conditions psychological health. 2. The revolutionary notion that Alfred Adler proposed in turn-of-the-century Vienna that drives the ground-breaking and far-reaching curricula and commitment to community engagement at the Adler School.

By the Numbers
The Adler School Community Service Practicum Recognized as an “Innovative Practice in Graduate Education” by the American Psychology Association Board of Educational Affairs, the Community Service Practicum (CSP) is another curricular hallmark at the Adler School in preparing future practitioners to address systemic improvements to community mental health. Every student engages in a CSP—a non-clinical and community-based practicum—during his or her first year of study. For more about CSP or becoming a communitybased practicum site, visit adler.edu.

about. They want to try to feel as good in this existence as they possibly can. So we really define the quality of our lives, not independently of thinking, but by how we feel about our lives. Rationalizations are just verbal manipulations to justify what one’s done to resolve a bad feeling or to create a good feeling. Logic is almost nonexistent. So, to me, emotions are really primary to the human experience. That’s what I’m trying to argue with the book. What do you find exciting about teaching at the Adler School at this point in your career? What I find exciting about teaching at the Adler School is the opportunity to work with bright, motivated students who are activity engaged in thinking about the human experience, and to interact with highly competent colleagues with a similar passion for teaching and learning. Also, as one grounded in Adlerian theory, I am particularly excited to be at the premier center for advancing Adlerian thought and practice.

Weighing the Effects Longtime community leader Jean Carter-Hill lives on the 6100 block of South Ada Street in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. As of March, five houses on her block stood vacant, including one next door to her home. “There was a fire in the building,” she says. “I’ve been in touch with the police and fire departments, trying to get it demolished. It’s a hazard.” 17 SUmmer 2011 gemeinschaftsgefÜhl

I’m really excited to look at the transformative processes rather than just offer Band-Aid treatments.” ®
Lynn Todman, Ph.D. Executive Director, ISE MHIA Project Leader
Todman says, “We’re excited to be advancing HIA practice in this way. The MHIA also is a perfect example of what drives the faculty and staff of our institute and the Adler School as a whole: advocacy, community engagement, and practice and intellectual innovation that are directed toward creating a society in which everyone has access to basic rights, resources, and opportunities.”
Leading foundations: MHIA is ‘critical opportunity’
Pictured below: Jean Carter-Hill Community Garden, Nicholson Technology Academy in Englewood
The leading support from two significant foundation partners is enabling development of the groundbreaking Mental Health Impact Assessment (MHIA) project through the Institute on Social Exclusion at the Adler School. In January, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation announced a $250,000 grant to support the project “as a critical opportunity to improve people’s health beyond the healthcare system—in the communities where people live, work, and play.” As the nation's largest philanthropy devoted solely to public health, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation supports projects aligned with its mission to improve the health and health care of all Americans, and its goal to help society transform itself for the better. Weeks later, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded $150,000 to the Adler School to further support the MHIA project. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, established in 1940, supports children, families, and communities as they strengthen and create conditions that propel vulnerable children to achieve success as individuals and as contributors to the larger community and society. Its grants are concentrated in the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, and southern Africa. “These grants acknowledge the significance of our work and its implications for the mental health and well-being of residents in disadvantaged communities,” says Lynn Todman, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Institute on Social Exclusion and MHIA project leader. “The Adler School is uniquely qualified to undertake this work because everything we do, like the MHIA, occurs at the intersection between social issues and psychology.” 22

OUR ALUMNI: Leading change in the world
A woman pauses for a photo from a Haitian camp where Adler School alumna Jennifer Van Wyck works with residents to rebuild their lives.
Cultivating Hope In December, Jennifer Van Wyck arrived in Haiti to begin a year of providing mental health services in the displaced persons camps outside Port-auPrince. Impoverished communities there continue struggling to rebuild, more than a year after an earthquake devastated the country. More than half of the nation’s 1.5 million people left homeless by the quake remain living in camps. Van Wyck, who earned her master’s in counseling psychology from the Adler School’s Vancouver campus, is one of five co-founders of Phoenix Vision Society (phoenixvision.org). Phoenix Vision’s focus on multi-dimensional trauma healing “coincides with the holistic philosophy so ingrained in the Adler School curriculum,” Van Wyck says. “I really believe in the philosophy of the Adler School; I practice daily the integration of community and social advocacy.”
