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.
In "Understanding Human Nature", Adler explores human personality
from all angles - how character develops, the nature of the psyche,
how we see the world and how we become who we are. He investigates
character traits of different types, exploring moods, feelings and
emotions, from envy and greed to grief and joy. Through this study,
we are introduced to the main themes of Alfred Adler's work, all of
which have made a significant contribution to contemporary
psychology, with many of them, such as "inferiority" and
"superiority complex", entering everyday language without people
knowing their source. Adler is one of the founding fathers of
modern psychology, along with Freud and Jung. This translation
makes his ideas accessible to a new generation of readers in a
fresh, readable and attractive edition. It demonstrates the
relevance for modern thinking of Adler's psychology and offers
readers an invaluable comparison to the work of Freud and Jung.
From childhood, school life and adolescence, to work, love,
marriage and social existence, this is a positive an empowering
exploration of what makes us who we are - of those issues that are
fundamental to the progress of all our lives. Like "Understanding
Human Nature", it introduces all the main strands of Adler's
thinking, but it deals with - and is written for - the normal
person-in-the-street who wishes to improve his or her life and the
lives of others. The author concentrates on three main areas of
human activity - marriage, work and social relationships -
stressing the unrealized potential in each of us for constructive
change. His clear explanations - clarified by reference to examples
from everyday life - and practical, down-to-earth advice, show how
a fuller understanding of ourselves can help us overcome the
limitations of our past and develop the courage and self-confidence
to transform ourselves and the world we live in.
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.
Intended for both the general reader and students, Understanding
Life offers an excellent introduction to Adler's work, and presents
an accessible overview of all his main theories: inferiority and
superiority complexes; early memories as keys to understanding
personality; interpreting dreams; love, marriage and children;
sexuality and sexual problems. Straightforward and clearly written
this guide gives a basis for understanding both Adler's unique
theories and the development of twentieth-century psychology, in
which his work has played such an important part.
