The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler, Vol 12 The General System of Individual Psychology: Overview & Summary of Classical Adlerian Theory & Current Practice

by Alfred Adler, Henry T. Stein

Volume 12, "The General System of Individual Psychology" is an unpublished manuscript by Alfred Adler. The thirteen undated lectures, identified as "chapters," form a complete series that Adler presented in English, possibly in New York City. Adler's terminology and style suggests that the lectures were given later in his career, and represent a summary of his matured theory of the personality, as well as principles of prevention and treatment. In the homestretch of The Collected Works, this distillation serves as a gathering point for the abundant diversity of topics Adler covered from 1898 to 1937.
