- Title
A Comparison of Individual Psychology and Attachment Theory.
- Authors
Weber, Deborah A.
- Abstract
While many theories are becoming increasingly reflective of Adler's underlying philosophy, Individual Psychology has become a theory that many authors feel free to use without acknowledgement of the source. Many cognitive theorists have recognized Alfred Adler's impact on cognitive therapy. Yet, as a whole, the field of psychology does not acknowledge Adler's contribution as a major source from which many draw ideas (Ferguson, 2000; Sweeney, 1998; Watts & Carlson, 1999). Many of the basic constructs of Individual Psychology are also seen in Attachment Theory (Bowlby, 1969/1982). Attachment motive parallels Adler's idea of social interest, and the degree to which a child is able to meet his or her needs affects his or her level of social interest and ability to complete life's tasks.
