Felix Adler was not a big fan of psychology.  As William James and Sigmund Freud became more popular, and interest in the inner life grew, the Victorian Adler resisted what he considered this narcissistic invasion of the private world. Today, however, counseling is an important part of Ethical Culture; it nourishes ethical relations and our congregational life.  Hugh Taft-Morales explores two counseling orientations – those of Alfred Adler and existential therapists such as Victor Frankel - that reflect many Ethical Culture values.  He will share some of his personal experience in therapy as well as his philosophy of counseling to bring out our best.
