About the author

Austrian psychiatrist Alfred Adler rejected emphasis of Sigmund Freud on sexuality; his theories that personality arises in subconscious efforts and that from overcompensation for perceived inferiority results neurotic behavior and psychological illness base an Adlerian psychological school.

People recognize emphasis of this medical doctor, psychotherapist, and founder of individual on the importance of the complex as isolating an element, which plays a key role in development.

This Viennese of the best-known in the western world held a chair in the United States of America. His special merit made clear the interaction between external influences and internal dispositions. He therefore pioneered a holistic approach.

Introduction : L'homme et son semblable.
L'être humain ne peut vivre qu'au sein d'une communaité, et le rapport entre le moi du nourrisson et le toi de la maman est considéré la première formation sociale, d'où la nécessité de la tenir sacrée.
Si cette relation est réussie, alors l'enfant sera prêt à s'affronter correctement avec ses semblables.
Aussi, on ne peut parler d'intelligence que dans le contexte d'une communauté, même le morale et l'éthique ne sont que des règles du jeu nées du sentiment social en n'oubliant pas le côté esthétique de la personnalité.

Alfred Adler has much to teach us.

This is the case with his book "The Difficult Child" (1930): Adler has already demonstrated in 1930 that these "difficulties" are due to education in early childhood.

This reasoning is also inferred from the work of Robert Plomin: the "shared environment" (ie "shared" by all members of its "social environment": the family is the obvious example) prioritary influence the child.

This contrasts with adolescents: the influence of the "shared environment" reduces himself in the benefit of those of "non-shared environment".

Many authors (and I do not speak Plomin, which I appreciate), but mainly Anglo-Saxon backgrounds in education, which give the impression of having discovered the hot water. They are not embarrassed to be inspired by ADLER without saying it ... It is true that he fell into disgrace after the 2nd World War ...
