Inhaltsangabe

Exact facsimile of 1928 Edition. Originally published in 1928, this book was an attempt to acquaint the general public with the fundamentals of Individual Psychology. At the same time, it is a demonstration of the practical application of these principles to the conduct of everyday relationships, and the organization of our personal life. Based upon a years’ lectures to audiences at the People’s Institute in Vienna, the purpose of the book was to point out how the mistaken behavior of the individual affects the harmony of our social and communal life; to teach the individual to recognize their own mistakes; and finally, to show them how they may effect a harmonious adjustment to the communal life. Adler felt that mistakes in business or in science were costly and deplorable, but mistakes in the conduct of life are usually dangerous to life itself. This book is dedicated by the author in his preface ‘to the task of illuminating man’s progress toward a better understanding of human nature.’

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alfred Adler (1870-1937) was a pioneering Austrian medical doctor, psychotherapist, and the founder of the school of Individual Psychology. Initially a close colleague of Sigmund Freud, Adler famously broke away to develop his own highly influential theories emphasizing the human need for social connection, the drive to overcome feelings of inferiority, and the holistic nature of the individual. His accessible, practical approach to psychology has left a lasting legacy on modern counseling, child development, and personality theory.
