Adler and Inferiority
Captions available
The idea
Adler held that striving to overcome felt inferiority, and the desire to belong, are the central motives of personality.
In practice
A person's drive toward achievement is traced to compensating for early felt inadequacy.
Where people slip
Adler broke with Freud over the primacy of sexuality. The neo-Freudians share the framework and not the content.
