Rudolf Dreikurs (February 8, 1897, Vienna – May 25, 1972, Chicago) was an
Austrian psychiatrist and educator who developed psychologist Alfred Adler's system
of individual psychology into a pragmatic method for understanding the purposes of
reprehensible behaviour in children and for stimulating cooperative behaviour without
punishment or reward.
He suggested that human misbehavior is the result of feeling a lack of belonging to
one's social group. When this happens the child acts from one of four "mistaken
goals": undue attention, power, revenge or avoidance (inadequacy). His overall goal
was that students would learn to cooperate reasonably without being penalized or
rewarded because they would feel that they are valuable contributors to the
classroom.
In 1952, Dreikurs organized a group of followers of Adlerian Psychology to found
the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology. He was an active leader in the
organization until his death.[1]
