THE CONCEPT
OF BUILDING

Alfred Adlers Theory on Personality

Adler stressed a positive view of human nature.

He believed that individuals can control their
fate.
They can do this in part by trying to help others
(social interest).
How they do this can be understood through
analyzing their lifestyle.
Early interactions with family members, peers,
and teachers help to determine the role of
inferiority and superiority in their lives.
 Style of life or Lifestyle

A way of seeking to fulfill particular goals that

individuals set in their lives.
Individuals use their own patterns of beliefs,
cognitive styles, and behaviors as a way of
expressing their style of life.
Often style of life or lifestyle is a means for
overcoming feeling of inferiority.
 Four areas of lifestyle:
1. The self-concept
- the convictions about who I am.
2. The self-ideal
- convictions about what I should be.
3. The Weltbild, or picture of the world
- convictions about the not-self and what the
world demands of me.
4. The ethical convictions
- The personal right-wrong code.

career.

based on individuals interactions and career environment.
