The two editors present selections from the evolving works of Alfred Adler (1870-1937), the Viennese student and main critic of Freud.
Publishing from 1907 through 1937, the year of his death, Adler is often the source, always the pioneer, and usually the most lucid reference for such expressions
> inferiority (or superiority) complex;
> striving for self-enhancement/power;
> woman's revolt against her feminine role;
> the oversolicitous mother;
> dethronement of the first-born;
> need for affection;
> when maladjustment is spoken of as self-centeredness;
> psychological health as other-centeredness;
> psychiatry as science of interpersonal relations;
> neuroses as ego-defenses and forms of aggression;
Adler called his systemic work "Individual Psychology". Clearly this is a form of or related closely to subjective depth psychology, personalistic, or even gestalt psychology. The authors present this system in an abridged volume of Adler's work which is both authentic and organized.
