最佳答案 - 提问者选出From my readings of psychology Freud and Adler believed that human nature is shaped in early childhood, and that patterns of behavior remain remarkably constant into maturity. But while Freud focused on 'infantile sexuality' and the like, Adler was more interested in how a child seeks to increase their power in the world. Growing into an environment in which everyone else seems bigger and more powerful, every child seeks to gain what he or she needs by the easiest route.
Adler is famous for his idea of 'birth order', or where you come in a family. Youngest children, for instance, because obviously smaller and less powerful that everyone else in the family, will often try to “outstrip every other member of the family and become its most capable member”. A fork in the developmental path leads a child to either imitate adults in order to become more assertive and powerful themselves, or consciously display weakness so as to get the help and attention of adults.
