About Alexandra Adler
Alexandra Adler was an Austrian neurologist and the daughter of psychoanalyst Alfred Adler and Raissa Adler. She has been described as one of the "leading systematizers and interpreters" of Adlerian psychology. Her sister was socialist activist Valentine Adler. Alexandra Adler's husband was Halfdan Gregersen. Adler became one of the first neurologists to create a detailed documentation of what is known as post-traumatic stress disorder. Her findings allowed her to apply what she discovered to work with treatment for World War II Veterans, who potentially had PTSD. In 1938, Adler became the medical director of the Alfred Adler Clinic, named after her father.
