  9. UNITY AND PATTERNS OF HUMAN PERSONALITY - PG. 110 • Individual psychology states that we can only viewed holistically and systematically • Holistic - each individual is unique and cannot be understood by reducing them to constituent parts, e.g. Freud’s Id, Ego, Superego • Does any other theory try to do that?

  10. Systemic Individual cannot be understood apart from their context, e.g. culture, family, era…..

  11. Three points to remember in patterns……... • Behavior is purposeful and goal directed. Fictional finalism - refers to goal that guides a person’s behavior. • Strivings for significance and superiority are an innate part of our Mammalian heritage • Lifestyle - consist of people’s views about themselves and the world and their distinctive patterns as they pursue goals

  12. Social Interest and Community Feeling - PG. 111 • Awareness of being part of the human community, i.e. a sense of empathy. Includes finding a place in society and even striving for a better future for humanity. • Individual Psychology asserts that our happiness and success are largely related to social connectedness.
