In this volume, a major psychoanalytic thinker presents a theory of personality through his explorations of one of humankind’s most basic attributes: sexuality. In addition, these writings reflect Adler’s theoretical dissatisfaction with what he felt were the deterministic beliefs of Sigmund Freud. And having presented them, he precipitated one of the most dramatic schisms in psychoanalytic psychology.
