The Science of Living
First published in 1929, ‘The Science of Living’ discusses the different aspects of Individual Psychology, written by Alfred Adler, an Austrian medical doctor, and psychotherapist. Adler’s influential system of individual psychology introduced the term inferiority feeling, later widely and often wrongly called inferiority complex. He developed adaptable, supportive psychotherapy to direct those emotionally disabled by inferiority feelings toward maturity, common sense, and social usefulness. This book includes sections on the feelings of inferiority, superiority, and other related aspects like love, marriage, sex and sexuality, and the education of children.
