The Cram Season Podcast: "The Mystical Quest of Alfred Adler" | S1:E2

Welcome to Cram Season! A podcast where I, a disheveled college student, attempt to explain things in 20 minutes or less. This episode is all about Alfred Adler. We’ll go over their biographical history and key concepts in the best way I can teach my tiny brain how; and hopefully, that’ll work for you too. So, let’s get into it. Adler’s teachings are very much similar to a hero’s journey. A quest to achieve their final goal, but the means by which they achieve this may determine a good or bad ending. And with that in mind, here is our outline for this episode: * Adler, The Lone Hero * The Backstory (Style of Life, Creative Power, Family Constellation, and Early Recollection) * Social Interest, The Motivation * The Journey: The Hero’s Striving towards the Final Goal (Superiority or Success, Masculine Protest) * Living Long Enough to Become the Villain (Abnormal Development, Maladjustment) * It’s the Journey, Not the Destination (Safeguarding Tendencies)
