Abstract

The author analyzes the importance of lifestyle in “Adlerian Marathons” (long group psychotherapy sessions), focusing on “early memories” as indicators of the subject's unconscious goals. The study highlights how the patient's emotional change can transform memories themselves and how the refusal to remember can signal resistance to therapy or family trauma
