Alfred Adler, an Austrian medical doctor and psychotherapist, established the school of individual psychology. He focused on the significance of belonging, family relationships, and birth order, setting himself apart from Freud and his contemporaries. Adler believed that helping others was crucial for individuals to feel valued and connected in society. He introduced the concept of the “inferiority complex” and explored how feelings of inadequacy shape personality development.
