The Practice and Theory of Individual Psychology. Illustrated

About this book

In The Practice and Theory of Individual Psychology, Alfred Adler — one of the founding figures of modern psychology — presents the core principles of his influential theory known as Individual Psychology. Breaking away from Freud's psychoanalysis, Adler offers a holistic and socially-oriented approach to understanding human behavior, personality, and mental health. This seminal work explores key concepts such as the inferiority complex, the striving for superiority, the importance of early childhood experiences, and the role of social interest in psychological development. Adler emphasizes that individuals must be understood within the context of their social environment, goals, and personal perceptions of reality. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book not only outlines Adler's theoretical framework but also provides practical insights into therapeutic techniques. It serves as both an introduction to his psychological philosophy and a guide for practitioners seeking to apply Individual Psychology in clinical settings. A cornerstone of Adlerian thought, this text remains a vital resource for psychologists, counselors, educators, and anyone interested in the deep motivations that shape human behavior.
