Adler’s Theory

Answer 1

Every person has a sense of inferiority. From childhood, people work toward overcoming this inferiority by “striving for superiority.”

Question 2

Adlerian Therapy (sometimes called Individual Psychology) focuses on understanding and improving our natural goal-orientedness and deep motivations to pursue social connection and overcome our perceived sense of inferiority through our actions. To guide the process of fulfilling our goals we create our unique, stable style of living, and the goal of therapy is to make adjustments to that.
