Adler (1964) wrote that “the really important differences of conduct…are those…of useless and useful” (p. 78). When family members are discouraged about having a place of significance on the “useful side of life,” they shift towards problematic ways of living. This presentation will suggest a method of encouragement to help discouraged family members reorient through community feeling. Implications for marriage, parenting, and intergenerational relationships will be addressed.
