Abstract

It can be concluded that the psychological therapy of Adler is such a comprehensive theory that it could pass the test of time. He performed a pragmatic conceptualization processing on human behavior, and changed procedures which integrated many valuable opinions in the contemporary psychotherapy theory. Adler’ psychotherapy is closely related with contemporary practice, because Adler’s therapy is a kind of present - and - future oriented, time-limited or short-ranged, integrative and eclectic psychological method.
