Product Description

Adler, Freud, and Jung were the key figures in the development of psychology as we know it. While Freud and Jung are widely studied, Adler is far less well-known. Yet, as Grey demonstrates, many of the crucial concepts used today--from "life style" to "private logic"--stem from Adler's ideas.

Customer Reviews

An excellent book about Adler's ideas.
This well written, comprehensive book affords the reader the opportunity to understand Adler's concepts and treatment approach. The author documents how Alfred Adler was ahead of his time in his psychological and philosophical ideas; and explains the reasons why Adler is not better known today. This book is interesting because Grey puts Adler into the framework of his time and compares and contrasts his ideas with those of other well known thinkers and psychological practitioners. I believe this book is a "must" for all serious students of Adler as well as those readers who would like to get a fuller understanding of Alfred Adler's forward thinking in the many areas which are relevant for today's society. I am deliberately not being more explicit, so that you may become curious and encouraged to read the book; and find out more for yourself. I think you will find the reward well worth the effort.
