Had to buy it for a class but we only needed one chapter from it, so I was predisposed to not like it but I also found it both too general and too specific, as well as too cultish. Perhaps it would be of use to those specializing in Adlerian.

I needed to understand the basics first in my theories class. This dives deeper into what the theory is although sometimes unclear and wordy.
