Hi Everyone,
I am preparing an assignment on Adler's key points and concepts and
would appreciate feed back as to if you feel the below is correct.
Thanks
Chris
Adlerian concepts such as an individual's birth order, the initial
system one is part of, is significant in personality development;
one's attitudes regarding self and one's circumstances are
determined by birth order and at an early age; the feeling of
inferiority, which Adler considered to be normal and developed by
the age of six, drives individuals to "self-perfect"; and, early-
developed perspectives create the individual's unique life story and
can determine the life-path an individual walks, commencing in early
childhood until death. All of these concepts form part of what
Adler described as an individual's "private logic". Corey (2005)
states "private logic, the concepts about self, others, and life
that constitue the philosopy on which an individual's lifestyle is
based. Client's problems arise because the conclusions based on
their private logic often do not conform to the requirements of
social living." (p.102)
