Alfred Adler, was a medic al doctor, psychotherapist, and
the founder of the school of individual psychology. Adler’s theory of personality
and psychotherapy, presents a view which is optimistic in nature of people
while resting heavily on the notion of social interest. When we say social interest,
this refers to that feeling of oneness with all humankind. The popularity of
Adler was relative to the comparative optimism and comprehensibility of his
ideas. Adler was the one who wanted superiority and inferiority dynamic to be
set aside and also was the one of those first psychotherapists who discarded the
analytic couch in favor of the two chairs.
