The Practice and Theory of Individual Psychology

*The Practice and Theory of Individual Psychology*, by Alfred Adler, emphasizes understanding individuals within their social context. It views people as motivated by a desire for belonging and significance, often developing unique ways to overcome feelings of inferiority. Adler’s approach encourages counseling that helps individuals recognize their goals, foster social interest, and develop healthy self-esteem. This therapy focuses on active, collaborative efforts to improve life, addressing personal goals and social connections. Overall, it promotes personal growth through understanding oneself and building positive relationships with others.
