    PHYCHIATRIST

    Alfred Adler
    Presentation by: Ezekiel Abuyen
    BIOGRAPHY
    Alfred Adler was a physician, psychotherapist, and
    the founder of Adlerian psychology, sometimes
    called individual psychology. He is considered the
    first community psychologist, because his work
    pioneered attention to community life, prevention,
    and population health. Adlerian psychology
    emphasizes the human need and ability to create
    positive social change and impact.
    BIRTH & DEATH
    Alfred Adler was born on February 7, 1870, in Vienna, Austria
    He died on May 28, 1937

    EARLY LIFE
    He suffered rickets as a young child which prevented him from
    walking until the age of four. Due to his health problems as a child,
    Adler decided he would become a physician and, after graduating
    from the University of Vienna in 1895 with a medical degree, began
    his career as an ophthalmologist and later switched to general
    practice.
    Adler's Personality
    Theory
    Adler called his theory Individual Psychology because he believed that
    people were unique and that no theory created before his applied to all
    people. Adler's Personality Theory is similar to the Freud's Personality
    Theory except that Adler's drive for human behavior is the need to
    overcome the feelings of inferiority.
    INFERIORITY
    INFERIORITY IS A FEELING THAT HUMANS
    FEEL SINCE THEY ARE BORN. THEY GROW UP
    BEING DEPENDENT ON THEIR PARENTS AND
    FEELING LIKE THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING
    ON THEIR OWN. IT IS HUMANS DRIVE TO
    OVERCOME INFERIORITY AND BECOME
    SUPERIOR WHICH CAUSES HUMANS TO ACT.
    INFERIORITY
    COMPLEX
    Inferiority Complex is a term used to describe people who
    compensate for feelings of inferiority (feeling like they're
    less than other people, not as good as others, worthless,
    etc.) by acting ways that make them appear superior.
    FIRST BORN
    Those who are first born get all the attention at first but then all that
    attention goes towards the middle child. Now the first born feels
    neglected and inferior and develops to reserved and conservative.

    MIDDLE CHILD
    The middle child will be competitive and constantly try to
    BIRTH
    ORDER
    beat the firstborn

    YOUNGEST CHILD
    The youngest child will be pampered and will feel inferior when left to
    do things by themselves. The youngest child could also feel the need to
    constantly beat their older siblings like the middle child.
