Adlerian Psychology

Adlerian Psychology, founded by Alfred Adler, emphasizes that people are motivated by a desire to belong and feel connected. It views individuals as active agents shaping their lives through choices and beliefs. The approach focuses on understanding personal goals, social influences, and how early experiences influence behavior. It encourages developing a sense of community, self-awareness, and overcoming feelings of inferiority to achieve personal growth and well-being. Ultimately, Adlerian Psychology sees human behavior as goal-directed, with a focus on creating positive change through understanding oneself in relation to others.
