                 Adler School of Professional Psychology is a non-profit institution of higher education and independent graduate school of psychology located in Chicago, Illinois and Vancouver, British Columbia. As the oldest independent psychology school in North America,the Adler School continues the pioneering work of psychiatrist and first community psychologist Alfred Adler by graduating socially responsible practitioners, engaging communities, and advancing social justice.
                The Adler School offers degrees in clinical psychology (Psy.D.) and several master’s degree programs, enrolling more than 1,199 students at both campuses. The current president of The Adler School of Professional Psychology is Raymond E. Crossman, Ph.D.He was appointed the fifth president of school in 2003 and since then has realized a new vision, new academic programs, and significant growth.
The Adler School strives to attract applicants to its graduate programs who are interested in the interface between psychology and social justice, rather than those who are merely interested in the private practice of counseling and clinical psychology.

Academics:

              Master and doctoral programs are offered at both the Chicago and Vancouver campuses. In fall 2013, the Vancouver campus will begin offering a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology—the first true Psy.D. program in Canada.
              The Adler School is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and the American Psychological Association. The Adler School’s doctoral and master’s programs prepare students to become socially responsible practitioners. Based on a scholar/practitioner model, our mission-driven curriculum has earned national and international recognition. Adler School students, faculty, and staff engage with communities to advance social justice—reaching out to those facing the greatest barriers to mental health support.
              All of the Adler School's masters and doctoral programs offered at the Vancouver campus are offered under the written consent of the British Columbia Ministry of Advanced Education having undergone a quality assessment process and been found to meet the criteria established by the Ministry.
