Document Summary
Influenced much of modern psychology, but does not often get the credit. Ideas were expanded by rudolf dreinkurs in america after adler"s death. Indivisible psychology: a person is understood in their own context. Phenomenological approach: adlerians attempt to view the world from the client"s subjective frame of reference, how life is in reality is less important than how the individual believes life to be. It is not the childhood experience that are crucial - it is our present interpretation of these events: unconscious instincts and our past do not determine our behaviour. Then, anxiety is the result: crucial "c" = connect. Life tasks: three universal life tasks, social task (building friendships, love-marriage task (establishing intimacy, occupational task (contributing to society) Inferiority complex is a constant feeling of inferiority and superiority complex is a response to the inferiority complex. Caregivers will treat kids differently based on their gender which will impact these standards.
