Superiority and Social Interest: A Collection of Later Writings

â€œThis compilation establishes Adler beyond doubt as one of the wisest psychologists of this century.â€ â€•Gordon W. Allport
Two key ideas in Alfred Adlerâ€™s thinking are reflected in these twenty-one papers: the individualâ€™s striving toward some kind of individually conceived superiority, perfection, or success and the healthy personâ€™s need to connect that striving with social interestâ€•concern for the common good. The selections provide a survey of the wide range of Adlerâ€™s theories and clinical experience and they include a long essay on religion and individual psychology and Adlerâ€™s account of his differences with Freud. Each selection is given in its entirety, and the volume contains a biographical essay on Adler by his earliest important co-worker, Carl FurtmÃ¼ller, and an extensive bibliography of Adlerâ€™s writings.
