Rudolf Dreikurs should be credited for Adlerian psychology remaining alive and active after Adler died in 1937; for extending Adler’s ideas to many spheres of life beyond psychological practice; and for making Adler’s ideas in the 20th and the 21st centuries socially actionable. This presentation will focus on the most important events in Dreikurs’ life in a context of social life of his time, on legacy that Dreikurs has created for Adlerian movement, and on the lessons that we can learn by studying his contributions.
