Answer to Question 1

PTS: 1
FEEDBACK: Adler's early childhood was marked by illness, an awareness of death, and intense jealousy of his older brother. He suffered from rickets, which kept him from playing with other children. Adler was always jealous of his older brother, who was vigorous and healthy and could engage in the physical activities and sports in which Alfred could not take part.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Adler called his approach individual psychology because it focused on the uniqueness of each person. Unlike Freud, who saw sex as being of primary importance in shaping our personalities, Adler minimized the role of sex. To Adler, the conscious, not the unconscious, was at the core of personality.
