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

leadership and inspiration of Alfred Adler. He and a group of
physicians and educators organized 28 child guidance clinics in
Vienna, Berlin and Munich in the years prior to publication.
Conducted according to the tenets of Individual Psychology, these
clinics revealed many new and stimulating problems that they felt
were as applicable to conditions in America and England at the time
as in the experimental countries. The book was designed as an
organized and connected account of the problems, accomplishments
and failures encountered in the daily work, reported from actual
experience by the experts in charge. Adler edited the volume and
assigned each subject to the specialist in that field. The result
was designed to be of value to the welfare worker, the physician,

the 'immaturity of children, the question of guidance - never
wholly absent in the case of adults - takes on supreme importance.'

as a whole, with the later chapters undertaking to tackle in more
depth the various interrelated problems of children's education.

2010 Reprint of 1927 English Edition. Adler provides a practical
understanding of how childhood shapes adult life, which in turn
might benefit society as a whole. Unlike the culturally elitist
Freud, Adler believed that the work of understanding should not be
the preserve of psychologists alone, but a vital undertaking for
everyone to pursue, given the bad consequences of ignorance. This
approach to psychology was unusually democratic for psychoanalytic
circles. It is a work that anyone can read and understand.
2011 Reprint of 1958 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This
book deals with "four problems an individual has to face: his
relationship with others, his sense of equality, the possibility of
an escape from the ephemeral, and the meaning of his actions."-from
the Foreword.
2011 Reprint of 1930 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Adler,
along with Freud and Jung, created an entirely new branch of
psychology, namely psychoanalysis. "The Pattern of Life," with an
introduction by W. Beran Wolfe, the editor of Adler's clinical
cases, demonstrates the method and technique of "Individual
Psychology" so characterized by the Adlerian school of neurosis and
psychotherapy. It does this by introducing the reader to the
clinical procedure used by Adler in handling cases of wayward and
defective children. According to the reviewer, the whole book is
filled with good common sense plus keen scientific insight into the
problems of maladjustment.
2011 Reprint of 1930. Full facsimile of the original edition, not
reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Adler left behind
many theories and practices that very much influenced the world of
psychiatry. Today these concepts are known as Adlerian psychology.
His theories focused on the feelings of inferiority, and how each
person tries to overcome such feelings by overcompensating (trying
too hard to make up for what is lacking). Adler claimed that an
individual's lifestyle becomes established by the age of four or
five, and he stressed the importance of social forces, or the
child's environment, on the development of behavior. He believed
that each person is born with the ability to relate to other people
and realize the importance of society as a whole. As a therapist,
Adler was a teacher who focused on a patient's mental health, not
sickness. Adler encouraged self-improvement by pinpointing the
error in patients' lives and correcting it. He thought of himself
as an enabler, one who guides the patient through
"self-determination," so that the patients themselves can make
changes and improve their state. Adler was a pioneer in that he was
one of the first psychiatrists to use therapy in social work, the
education of children, and in the treatment of criminals. The
Science of Living is an intended to help the reader realize his
potential.
Edited by Colin Brett to make Adler's theories accessible to a
contemporary audience. An ideal form of social interest should
involve a strong sense of community feeling, cooperation and
fellowship. Brett also sheds new light on the many other principles
with which he is associated, such as inferiority and superiority
complexes, childhood memories, spoilt children, the nature of
neurosis and the significance of dreams. Essential reading for
novice psychologists and seasoned Adlerians alike.
