The Neurotic Constitution: Outlines of a Comparative Individualistic Psychology and Psychotherapy

by Alfred Adler

Book Overview

The Neurotic Constitution is a book written by Alfred Adler, a renowned Austrian psychologist and founder of the school of individual psychology. The book explores the concept of neurosis and its impact on the individual's personality and behavior. Adler argues that neurosis is not a disease or a pathological condition, but rather a result of an individual's unique experiences and perceptions. In this book, Adler presents a comparative individualistic psychology and psychotherapy approach to understanding and treating neurosis. He emphasizes the importance of understanding an individual's subjective experiences and their unique perspective on life. Adler also discusses the role of childhood experiences and the influence of social factors on the development of neurosis.The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the theoretical foundations of individual psychology, the second part discussing the practical application of individual psychology in psychotherapy, and the third part exploring the relationship between individual psychology and other schools of psychology.Overall, The Neurotic Constitution is a seminal work in the field of psychology and provides valuable insights into the nature of neurosis and the role of individual psychology in understanding and treating it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in psychology, psychotherapy, and the human mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
