According to Adler’s theory what was Martin’s goal? What was Martin’s unique style of life that could be used to achieve this goal? Provide evidence for your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
Martin wanted “to rise above his early station in life and achieve a more successful and sophisticated life.” His style of life that would be used to reach this goal was to become a lawyer. We know this is his style of life because Adler believed that style of life could be determined by a person’s earliest memory. Martin’s earliest memory was of defending the little boy who was unjustly accused of stealing. This memory indicates the suggested style of life.
