ALFRED ADLER - UNDERSTANDING HUMAN NATURE

Alfred Adler (1870-1937) was an Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist who is best known as the founder of Individual Psychology. Adler's theories have had a significant influence on modern psychology and continue to be relevant today.

Adler's approach to psychology focused on understanding the individual as a whole, taking into account their social context and the pursuit of personal goals. He believed that people are motivated by a striving for significance and a desire to overcome feelings of inferiority. Adler emphasized the importance of social factors, including family dynamics and the influence of society, in shaping an individual's behavior and personality.

Adler's writings and teachings contributed to the development of various therapeutic approaches, including Adlerian psychology, which focuses on understanding the individual within their social context and encouraging personal growth and social contribution.
