My opinion is more relevant to the life of a person, compared to most theories in psychology, because every individual is unique and reveal different behaviors. Although, Adler’s term “individual psychology” is not meant to focus on the individual, he said, “one must take into account the patient’s whole environment, meaning the patient is an indivisible whole.” Many issues within the environment have different impacts on an individual. I have learned that my surrounding location has had a great impact on the activities that I engage in, and the behavior that I reflect, because I consider the theory of the individual to be a reality in my life (Nevid, 2013). A possible title for my essay is “Adler’s Theory of the Individual.” The Theory of the Individual reflects on the individual being undivided, unique, and respectful towards themselves, as well as others.
