    Adler's childhood experiences with physical deficiencies led him to develop a theory of individual psychology focused on inferiority feelings and human motivation. He believed that inferiority feelings are the driving force behind all human striving, as people seek to overcome weaknesses from infancy. While striving for superiority and future goals, past experiences also greatly impact personality and motivation. Adler emphasized the importance of social interest and cooperation with others, not just for personal gain but for the benefit of all people.

    REACTION PAPER ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGY OF ALFRED

    ADLER

    Adler’s childhood life was an emotional one because of his situation but instead to give
    up, he motivates his self to surpass his weaknesses. He strives hard until he proposed
    his theory about individual psychology and introduced the term inferiority feelings, and
    later on called inferiority complex. I agreed to Alfred decision that he choose to motivate
    his self to overcome his physical deficiencies and compensate his inferiority feelings
    because according to Helen Keller, an American author “although the world is full of
    suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it”.
    In his theory, Alfred was right that inferiority feelings are the source of all human
    striving. Because human striving begins to infancy, when a child realize that he can’t do
    something because he is only a child that’s the time his inferiority feelings develop. The
    child will think that he is a weak not like the adults people around him. That’s why
    people motivate themselves to strive more to achieve their wants in life because of
    inferiority feelings. In short inferiority feeling help us to strive and grow.
    In striving for superiority it means that person have a goal to be as a whole and to finish
    something that will make him or her satisfied. And for me, I can’t say that Adler is totally
    correct that the human motivation is the expectation of a person to the future because
    our past experiences have a great impact to our personality and to our future. And
    according to Sigmund Freud our motivation is determined by our past experiences
    which he has also a point. That’s why people are motivated because of their past
    experiences, they want to correct the mistakes that they have done or they want to
    become a better person in the future.
    I highly agreed to the social interest of Alfred Adler that we need to interact and
    cooperate to other people not only for our own interest but also for the sake of
    everyone, just like what Mattie J.T Stepanek said that ‘unity is strength.. When there is
    teamwork and cooperation wonderful things can be achieved’.
