Abstract
While Adlerians have long advocated the use of the earliest childhood memory (EM) for adult assessments, they have discouraged the use of children's EMs for the same purpose. The present writer argues that children's EMs merit further research. In support of this position, the research literature is discussed, a clinical case study is presented, and the results from a small pilot study of clinical cases is summarized.Keywords
