Abstract

This article provides historical context for Adler's 1935 article, seeks to clarify and unpack the meaning in his rather short introduction, and suggests its contemporary relevance and use. Adler intended his introduction to be a broad outline, one that would be filled in by additional articles to be published in the journal. In this article, we seek to fill in some of the gaps related to individual development and movement, the life tasks, and, most important, Adler's typology, which is based on level of activity in relation to the development of social interest. Using the typology in relation to a more complete explanation of life tasks, this article ends with an orientation on Adlerian prevention and child development.
