    3. The Phenomenological Approach Adlerians attempt to view the world from the clients subjective frame of reference How life is in reality is less important than how the individual believes life to be It is not the childhood experiences that are crucial ~ It is our present interpretation of these events Unconscious instincts and our past do not determine our behavior

    4.
