Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Adler was an increasingly vocal critic of the Freudian theory. He severed all connection with psychoanalysis and went on to develop his own approach to personality. Freud reacted angrily to Adler's defection by belittling him and his theory. Adler showed similar hostility toward Freud, calling him a swindler and denouncing psychoanalysis as filth. Adler became irate whenever he was introduced or referred to as a student of Freud's.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Adler felt inferior to his brother and to the other neighborhood children, who all seemed healthier and more athletic. As a result, he resolved to work hard to overcome his feelings of inferiority to compensate for his physical limitations.
