Adlerian theory on mental illness The Adlerian theory focuses on developing a healthy life and the impact the behaviors have on human. According to Alfred Adler, human beings are mainly motivated by social influences. This includes being appreciated by society, taking part in social well-being such as empathizing with others, and contributing to the social constructions that give out social needs. The theorist didn’t think biology as a life driving factor; however, he stressed that the relationship with society maps the individual's entire life. Adler urged that the individual with social responsibilities and cooperative with others lives a positive life that positively influences their mental health. Therefore, he complained that psychotics failures are influenced by failing to contribute to social interests (Samuel, 2018). The theory holds that individual personality development is based on the conscious approach of behavior and not the unconscious. The process of striving for perfection explained that people in a society tend to strive for them to succeed. Adler explained that some of the feelings that make people feel inferior to others are common; however, when this feeling is not overcome, the inferiority complex condition develops, which describes the basis of individual personalities (Samuel, 2018). The theory also described that those who tend to overcompensate the feeling of inferiority complex develops a problem of superiority complex, that is described as neurotic fiction (unproductive) According to Adler, what influences many people is the desire for future goals, which he names as teleological. Also, he evaluated birth order as an influence on human life. This explains that the firstborns may express things in common that the sibling raised with and from the same family. Adler also viewed the family's environment as important during development, mostly in the five years of life. The individuals are said to develop some approaches to others, which is a different form of every individual at the age of 5. The relationship of family members is what simulates this act of development. Adler categorized family environment into two; positive and negative. A negative environment is described as rejecting, materialistic, authoritative, pitying, or suppressive, while the positive environment is described as accepting, open, democratic, and social. The family's environment is considered important compared to any other event during this stage of development(Samuel, 2018). However, Adler holds the belief that three facts determine the life of the individual. He names this factor as a society, work, and sexuality. Social interest is viewed as very important in life, while work is believed to be human survival approach where each individual has to learn how to be independent. In life, an individual also has to define their sexuality while regarding others or self. This holds cooperation rather than competition. Also, he developed other challenges faced in life; spirituality and coping with self (Samuel, 2018). Through this, he described that when one is facing a life task, they should develop courage first; this is described as the willingness to take risks without looking at the consequences of those moves. Overall, the theory focuses on individuals with feelings of human connectedness and development of oneself fully. When this is undeveloped complex inferiority may disturb others while superiority may provoke some. This unconscious may be exploitive on others. When the feeling of connectedness and the motivation to contribute are strong, quality emerges. Through this, the human struggle will be beneficial to others and self-transcending. This makes the theory adoptive in describing the nature of anxiety mental disorder influenced by the inferiority complex.

Adlerian Psychotherapy This was developed by Alfred Adler, who was viewing the philosophical attention on new ideas. This psychotherapy emphasizes the individuals' ability to relate with others in an inferiority approach and ability to adapt to feelings. According to this treatment, humans are more cooperative and responsive when they are encouraged and motivated with feelings of respect and adequacy. However, when those individuals sense an act of discouragement, they tend to pose withdrawal, defeat, or competition. The positive influences are said to have a feeling of fulfillment and an increase in optimism. According to Adler psychotherapy, the child who is misbehaving is said to poses a discouragement feeling, and their patterns in behaviors improve when the environment around them expresses the sense of respect, acceptance, and their significances (Carlson & Englar-Carlson, 2017). The Adlerian therapist helps individuals with this anxiety and inferiority complex with ways of understanding their thoughts, emotions, and the drives that significantly influence their lives. Those who undergo the therapy are also guided on acquiring news and positive ways that may offer a productive lifestyle; some include developing new sights, behaviors, skills, and knowledge (Carlson & Englar-Carlson, 2017). For this to be achieved, the therapist has to undergo different stages; those include: Engagement stage- in this stage, the therapist and the individual develops understanding and list down the goals to be achieved during the therapy process Assessment stage – in this stage, the therapist advises the individual to explain and discuss his personal history, early collection, family history, feelings, motives, and beliefs. Through this, the therapist understands the individual's overall life pattern and the factors that may have been insignificant in the individual's development life. Insight stage- the therapist helps the individual with the problem in thinking and development of the new ways Reorientation: This is the finalizing stage where the therapist encourages the individual on effective actions that may help in reinforcing the new ideas and ways while observing the future needs. Why Adlerian psychotherapy treatment was chosen. What makes individuals enter therapy is because it offers them insight on their behaviors and the response to whatever appears to their lives. Adlerian Psychotherapy offers a value through which the individual is introduced to their organization of personal life that includes the social context, birth order, and parental influences. Through this, the individuals can understand the feeling and the events experienced in their childhood. This helps those individuals understand their inner values and their relationship with peoples for the first time in life. Adlerian Psychotherapy enables the individual to look at beliefs that encourage them in positive ways (Galanakis & Anastasopoulou, 2020). Adlerian Psychotherapy uses encouragement and empowerment. For an individual to become supportive in their community, the therapist demonstrates the positive encouragement for those individuals to become successful in their communities. The positive idea and look on society are explained to impact how the individual may respond to the community's needs and desires. The flexibility of this therapy makes it easy to be used by an individual at different ages. Its ability to emphasize the inferiority and anxiety makes it easy to adopt other therapists such as play, talk, and art therapies. Thus, it is easy to utilize and be influenced to a different group with ranging ages (Galanakis & Anastasopoulou, 2020). In conclusion, mental disorders can be viewed in different perceptive. Adlerian therapy gives the therapist a clear depth of human life, which the therapist must consider and come up with a general reason for the reported problem. Different ages group's possess different mental disorders such as anxiety and inferiority in the society; this can be due to a failure that was not appraised and the success that was not appreciate; thus destroying the positive view of the community to those affected. According to Adlerian theory, the parents are said to influence how their children develop. However, this is said to be effective at the age of 5 years. The parents' presence is, therefore, important in overseeing child development. Overseeing explains that the parents should be able to correct, appreciate, and guide their child on society's well-being as they develop. To make this effective the therapist calls the parent to address the society issues on their children as they grow up. This will reduce inferiority that leads to anxiety in children future life.
