Understanding Human Nature - The Psychology of Personality

Long-regarded as the handbook of Individual Psychology, Understanding Human Nature provides an engaging introduction to Adlers key concepts including: inferiority and superiority complexes, life style, memories and dreams, love, marriage and children, and sexuality and sexual problems. Adlers holistic approach to the study of personality saw him challenge the dominance of Freuds thinking (his friend and colleague) and develop a truly innovative, and still highly relevant, method of psychoanalysis. A straightforward, clearly-written book, it shows the seminal thinking of a great mind and provides a basis to understand both Adler's unique theories and the development of twentieth-century psychology, in which his work has played such an important part.
