Review of The Pattern of Life

Abstract

Reviews the book, The Pattern of Life by Alfred Adler (1930). This book with an introduction by W. Beran Wolfe, the editor of Adler's clinical cases, demonstrates the method and technique of "Individual Psychology" so characterized by the Adler school of neurosis and psychotherapy. It does this by introducing the reader to the clinical procedure used by Adler in handling cases of wayward and defective children. According to the reviewer, the whole book is filled with good common sense plus keen scientific insight into the problems of maladjustment. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
