<![CDATA[Group counseling based on Adlerian theory emphasizes social connectedness, a sense of belonging, and the courage to face imperfection as essential foundations for personal growth and positive interpersonal development. This article aims to comprehensively analyze the counselor’s role in facilitating group counseling through the application of Adlerian principles. The study employs a literature review method by examining relevant books, national and international journal articles, and previous empirical studies that discuss the implementation of Adlerian theory in group counseling. The results of the review reveal that counselors play a multidimensional role as facilitators, motivators, and guides who help group members identify their lifestyle patterns, develop social interest, and build courage to accept imperfection. The counselor’s ability to create an egalitarian and supportive environment enables members to learn through positive group interactions and mutual understanding. Furthermore, the effectiveness of Adlerian group counseling depends greatly on the counselor’s skills in managing group dynamics and their cultural sensitivity, particularly in collectivist contexts such as Indonesia. Overall, the findings emphasize that the success of Adlerian group counseling is determined not only by theoretical understanding but also by the counselor’s interpersonal competence, reflective ability, and cultural awareness in practice. Therefore, integrating Adlerian principles into group counseling contributes significantly to personal development, social responsibility, and group cohesion among participants.]]>
