history

Alfred Adler was a founding member of the Wednesday Society founded by Sigmund Freud in 1902 , a working group in which an exchange took place about the still relatively young psychoanalysis founded by Freud. In the years that followed, however, the differences in content between Freud and Adler became more and more acute, until the two broke up in 1911. In order to differentiate themselves externally from Freudian psychoanalysis from then on, Adler and his followers described their professional orientation as individual psychology. Due to Adler's socio-political commitment, individual psychological positions spread and established themselves not only in medicine, but also in circles of social workers and social pedagogues. With the rise of National Socialism, many individual psychologists emigrated, including Adler himself, who, like Freud, was Jewish and whose writings were burned by the National Socialists as “degenerate Jewish works”. Other individual psychologists perished in concentration camps.

This had u. a. As a result, the organizational structures of individual psychologists in Germany were largely destroyed by the end of the war. It was not until 1962 that an individual psychological association was founded again - on the initiative of Oliver Brachfeld and Wolfgang Metzger - which was called "Alfred Adler Society eV" (AAG) and was later renamed "German Society for Individual Psychology eV" (DGIP). From 1967 on, the AAG organized training courses for counselors and psychotherapists in Aachen and Münster. From 1970 regional circles were formed which took on this task and from which later the individual psychological training institutes in Munich, Düsseldorf, Delmenhorst and Aachen emerged.

Rainer Schmidt , who represented and established this regional circle within the DGIP, was co-founder of the Aachen regional circle. In 1975 the district, now registered under the name “Regionalgruppe West”, founded the “Alfred Adler Institute Aachen eV”, which was finally officially opened in 1976. In 1984 it was recognized as a training institute by the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. In 1996 the institute was renamed again and received the name that is still valid today. In 1994 the “Cologne Working Group for Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy” was founded in cooperation with the AAI Düsseldorf. In the following year, a further training course for analytical child and adolescent psychotherapists took place for the first time. In 2000 - one year after the Psychotherapists Act (PsychThG) came into force - the AAI Aachen-Cologne received state recognition.
