Adlerian Psychoanalysis

Adlerian psychoanalysis, developed by Alfred Adler, views individuals as motivated by a desire to overcome feelings of inferiority and achieve a sense of belonging and purpose. It emphasizes understanding a person’s unique life experiences, goals, and social context, rather than just unconscious conflicts. The approach focuses on fostering self-awareness, encouraging healthy social connections, and developing a sense of community. It sees problems as stemming from feelings of inadequacy or a lack of fulfillment, and aims to help individuals identify and modify patterns to lead a more purposeful and satisfying life.
