My Jotting board: Alfred Adler in a breath…

The master of Individual psychology: I(the individual and the society)

Break away from Freudian notion of Sexual motivation and instincts as determining human nature

Stress on the Dynamics of the whole Family (sibling position. Sibling rivalry, Family constellation)

“STYLE OF LIFE”
Basic helplessness of all the children
Feelings of inadequacy
So the act of compensation or/and of over-compensation

Boy-feminine nature as sister gets more attention,
Shouting nature as father/mother who shouts more wins often the situation,
Delicate child: more care when sick.


The development of “MISTAKEN STYLE OF LIFE”: so they never learn from mistakes

Fear of failure, and the more fear of his/her test of adequacy
