Alfred Adler
Image
Every therapeutic cure, and still more, any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth, tears him from the cradle of his freedom from responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance.
Alfred Adler
Image
What person, confined in a small room with nothing but a tea-cosy, will not eventually put the tea-cosy on their head?
Alfred Adler
Image
We must interpret a bad temper as a sign of inferiority.
Alfred Adler
Image
You can be healed of depression if every day you begin the first thing in the morning to consider how you will bring a real joy to someone else.
