Beskrivning

With Freud and Jung, Adler is one of the three founding fathers of the modern psychotherapy movement. This text introduces the key concepts of Adler's psychology, including: individual psychology; inferiority and superiority complexes; life style; memories and dreams; love, marriage and children; and sexuality and sexual problems. It gives a basis for understanding both the thinking of Adler and the development of 20th-century psychology itself.
