In his early writings, Adler was already studying the importance of
social influence on the development of human personality. This prompted
him, even after his separation from Freud, to address numerous
educational issues in his publications. Volume four of the Alfred Adler
study series contains the most important of these writings. These
writings also show Adler's influence on the development of psychological
approaches to education, as well as the main influences on educational
reform of the early 20th century. Numerous case examples bring his
theories and method of study alive. German text.
