ALFRED ADLER (1870-1937) Über den nervösen Charakter; Grundzüge einer vergleichenden Individual-psychologie und Psychotherapie. J. F. Bergmann 1912 [8] 195 [3] pp. 23.5 cm.

Adler had been a prominent member of Freud's circle in Vienna before he broke away in 1911 and established his own school of "Individual Psychology." He stressed the sense of inferiority as the motivating force in human society and saw the inability to compensate for this inferiority complex as the origin of neuroses. The present treatise is a principal work of Adler, laying the groundwork for his concept of individuality, inferiority, and compensation.
