The Society of Individual Psychology

The Society of Individual Psychology, founded by Alfred Adler, is a psychological approach emphasizing the importance of each person's unique goals, social context, and sense of belonging. It suggests that people are motivated by a desire to overcome feelings of inferiority and to find significance through their relationships and community. Rather than focusing solely on past experiences, it encourages understanding individuals as whole persons, with their values and aspirations shaping their behavior. This perspective promotes personal growth, social connectedness, and the idea that everyone has the capacity to improve and contribute meaningfully to society.
