In 1986, Sadie “Tee” Dreikurs was interviewed on video about her life and career. The resulting two-part documentary movie premiered at the first annual Founder’s Day at the Alfred Adler Institute of Chicago, February 8, 1987 to great acclaim. (It won a Chicago International Film Festival Certificate of Merit in 1987). It is an engaging companion piece to her book, Cows Can Be Purple, published in the same year. The video was subsequently sold to libraries, schools, and individuals.
NASAP and the Alfred Adler Institute of Chicago (now Adler University) were co-sponsors of this production. Tee’s personal accomplishments as an artist and fascinating connection to Jane Addams and Hull House, and then her Adlerian career as Rudolf Dreikurs’ wife and collaborator form the two parts of the movie. The movie’s sample enactment of Tee’s invention of Adlerian Art Therapy, with her extensive commentary, has been in use in psychology graduate classrooms. Now, after over thirty years, the video has been digitized and is ready for even wider circulation.
