Two key ideas in Alfred Adler\'s thinking are reflected in these twenty-one papers: the individual\'s striving toward some kind of individually conceived superiority, perfection, or success and the healthy person\'s need to connect that striving with Social interest--concern for the common good.
Each selection is given in its entirety, and the volume contains a biographical essay on Adler by his earliest important co-worker, Carl Furtm ller, and an extensive bibliography of Adler\'s writings..
The selections provide a survey of the wide range of Adler\'s theories and clinical experience and they include a long essay on religion and individual psychology and Adler\'s account of his differences with Freud.
