About Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler was an Austrian medical doctor, psychotherapist, and founder of the school of individual psychology.

He proposed that contributing to others was how the individual feels a sense of worth and belonging in the family and society.

Adler considered a human being as an individual whole, and therefore he called his school of psychology Individual Psychology.
