Biography Alfred Adler | Who is Alfred Adler | Individual Psychology | Urdu/Hindi

In this video you will learn about the biography of alfred adler who is the founder of individual psychology. Childhood Adler’s early childhood was marked by illness, an awareness of death, and intense jealousy of his older brother. He suffered from rickets (a vitamin D deficiency characterized by softening of the bones), which kept him from playing with other children. At age 3, his younger brother died in the bed next to his. At 4, Adler himself almost died from pneumonia. When he heard the doctor tell his father, “Your boy is lost,” he decided to become a doctor. Adler was pampered by his mother initially, but then was suddenly dethroned at the age of 2 by the arrival of another baby. Biographers have suggested that Adler’s mother may have then rejected him, but he was clearly his father’s favorite. Therefore, his childhood relations with his parents were quite different from Freud’s, who was much closer to his mother than to his father. As an adult, Adler had no use for the Freudian concept of the Oedipus complex because it was so foreign to his childhood experiences. Adler was always jealous of his older brother, who was vigorous and healthy and could engage in the physical activities and sports in which Alfred could not take part. “I remember sitting on a bench, bandaged up on account of rickets, with my healthy elder brother sitting opposite me. He could run, jump, and move about quite effortlessly, while for me, movement of any sort was a strain and an effort”. Adler’s 9-year association with Freud began in 1902, when Freud invited Adler and three others to meet once a week at Freud’s home to discuss psychoanalysis. Although their relationship never became close, Freud initially thought highly of Adler and praised his skill as a physician who was able to gain the trust of his patients. It is important to remember that Adler was never a student or disciple of Freud’s and was not psychoanalyzed by him. One of Freud’s colleagues charged that Adler did not have the ability to probe the unconscious mind and psychoanalyze people. It is interesting to speculate on whether this supposed lack led Adler to base his personality theory on the more easily accessible consciousness and to minimize the role of the unconscious. By 1910, although Adler was president of the Vienna Psychoanalytical Society and coeditor of its journal, he was also an increasingly vocal critic of the Freudian theory. He soon severed all connection with psychoanalysis and went on to develop his own approach to personality. Freud reacted angrily to Adler’s defection. He belittled Adler’s physical stature (Adler was 5 inches shorter than Freud) and called Adler loathsome, abnormal, driven mad by ambition, filled with venom and meanness, paranoid, intensely jealous, and sadistic. He also described Adler’s theory as worthless. Adler showed similar hostility toward Freud, calling him a swindler and denouncing psychoanalysis as rubbish. Adler became irritate whenever he was introduced or referred to as a student of Freud’s. In his later years, Adler became just as embittered toward defectors from his own approach as Freud had been toward those, like Adler, who deviated from psychoanalysis. Adler was known to “flare suddenly into heated anger when he felt his authority challenged”. In 1912, Adler founded the Society for Individual Psychology. He served in the Austrian army during World War I (1914–1918) and later organized government sponsored child counseling clinics in Vienna. In 1926, he made the first of several visits to the United States, where he taught and gave extremely popular lecture tours. Adler’s books and lectures brought him recognition on a national scale, and he became America’s first popular psychologist, a celebrity of the day. In 1937, while on an exhausting 56-lecture tour of Europe, Adler suffered a heart attack and died in Scotland.
