Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: To Adler, the conscious, not the unconscious, was at the core of personality. Rather than being driven by forces we cannot see and control, we are actively involved in creating our unique selves and directing our own futures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Critics allege that Adler was inconsistent and unsystematic in his thinking and that his theory contains gaps and unanswered questions. Freud charged that Adler's psychology was oversimplified and would appeal to many people because it eliminated the complicated nature of the unconscious, had no difficult concepts, and ignored the problems of sex.
