Abstract
The paper examines Adlerian therapy as a theory of counseling. It talks about the background and development of the psychotherapeutic theory. In its background, we examine the life of Dr. Alfred Adler who was a major contributor to the theory.

The therapy has a number of challenges and these challenges are discussed in the paper. Ethical and legal implications of the theory are also identified in the paper. The paper then applies the theory through the case study of Margarita.
