1939 Alfred Adler Inferiority Complex by H. Orgler Antique Psychology Book 1st

Alfred Adler: The Man And His Work - Triumph Over The Inferiority Complex
By Hertha Orgler
Published by The C.W. Daniel Company Ltd: London 1939 1st Edition

" Hertha Orgler's Alfred Adler: The Man and His Work - Triumph Over the Inferiority Complex (The C.W. Daniel Company Ltd, London, 1939 1st Edition) offers a deeply informed and intimate portrait of one of the most influential yet often underappreciated figures in modern psychology. Drawing on her personal association with Adler, Orgler presents both a biography and a clear exposition of his pioneering ideas, particularly his development of Individual Psychology and his break from Freudian orthodoxy. The book situates Adler within the intellectual currents of early 20th-century Europe while emphasising the originality and humanity of his approach.

Central to the work is Adler's concept of the inferiority complex and the individual's striving for significance, which Orgler explains with clarity and practical insight. She traces his belief that personality is shaped not merely by heredity or unconscious drives, but by social context, early childhood experiences, and the individual's chosen "life style." Through illustrative cases and accessible discussion, the book explores Adler's key ideas, including the importance of social interest, the role of family dynamics—especially birth order—and the capacity for personal growth and transformation.

More than a theoretical study, this volume conveys the spirit of Adler's work as a humane and socially engaged psychology, concerned with cooperation, education, and the betterment of society. Orgler's close connection to Adler lends authenticity and warmth to the narrative, making it both authoritative and engaging. This 1939 first edition stands as an important contemporary account of Adlerian thought and would appeal to collectors of early psychological literature, students of psychoanalytic history, and readers interested in the foundations of modern self-development and therapeutic practice."
