Rudolph Dreikurs is recognized for being Adler's student and for discussing the use of group therapy in private practice. He was a student of which founder?

• A. Carl Jung
• B. Alfred Adler
• C. Sigmund Freud
• D. Erik Erikson

Answer: (B)

Rudolph Dreikurs is linked to Alfred Adler, who founded Individual Psychology. Adler mentored Dreikurs in Vienna, and Dreikurs carried forward Adler’s ideas, applying them to education, family dynamics, and the use of group therapy in private practice. The other figures led different schools of thought—Carl Jung with analytical psychology, Sigmund Freud with psychoanalysis, and Erik Erikson with psychosocial development—not the founder under whom Dreikurs studied.
