Adler’s emphasis on the individual differentiated his theory from which other approach?

  • Existentialism

  • Gestalt psychology

  • Behaviorism

  • Classical psychoanalysis

Answer

**Classical psychoanalysis**, championed by Freud, places central importance on unconscious drives and childhood experiences in shaping personality. In contrast, Adler's theory, known as individual psychology, emphasizes the individual's conscious perceptions, goals, and feelings of inferiority as primary determinants of personality and behavior. Adler's focus on the individual's subjective experience and potential for growth distinguishes his approach from classical psychoanalysis.
