Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: 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. A related charge is that Adler's concepts appear to rely heavily on commonsense observations from everyday life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Specific Adlerian concepts of lasting importance to psychology include the early work on organic inferiority, which has influenced the study of psychosomatic disorders; the inferiority complex; compensation; and order of birth. Adler is also considered a forerunner of social psychology and group therapy.
