Alfred Adler
Über den Autor
Alfred Adler was an Austrian physician and psychotherapist, best known for founding the school of individual psychology. He emphasized the importance of social interest and community feeling in a person's development, arguing that the drive for superiority is a fundamental motivating force in human behavior. Adler's work laid the groundwork for many modern psychological concepts, including the importance of birth order and the impact of early childhood experiences on personality development.
In addition to his clinical work, Adler was a prolific writer, publishing numerous books and articles that explored the intricacies of human psychology. His seminal works such as "The Neurotic Constitution" and "The Pattern of Life" continue to influence psychotherapy practices today. Adler's holistic approach to understanding individuals, focusing on their social context and contributions to society, set him apart from other psychological theorists of his time. His legacy endures through the ongoing relevance of his theories in contemporary psychology.
