Adlerian Psychology | Community Health

Adlerian psychology, founded by Alfred Adler, emphasizes the social and contextual origins of behavior, focusing on the indivisibility of the person and their unique life goals. This approach breaks away from Freudian psychoanalysis, instead highlighting the importance of social factors, goals, and a holistic understanding of human behavior. As noted by [[alfred-adler|Alfred Adler]] in his book [[the-practice-and-theory-of-individual-psychology|The Practice and Theory of Individual Psychology]], individual psychology aims to understand the complex interactions between an individual's personality, environment, and life experiences.
