Because the use of sleep-inducing medicines is today very wide-spread, I would appreciate some Adlerian comments on the use of these medicines. In some cases, they may be helpful, but very often they seem to cause more problems than to solve them.
Crime is a problem that is today much debated, possibly even more than in Adler's time. Another problem is the cruelty of the crime. Are there crimes that cannot be explained, or can we explain them all, with the help of psychology and sociology? Adler defines the "exclusion of others" as an important factor leading to crime. I would like to give a thought to this idea. How would you define it? It probably is a trait with many different outward expressions. It also includes some kind of insufficient social feeling, I think.
