I am glad you posted a reply to the sad, sick little woman aka comedian

My thoughts were like the comedian's. I believe a book co-authored with Adler started this confusion. Comparisons to Freud are not intended to be 1:1 but rather illuminate distinct differences and enhance understanding of Adler's perspective. (As a fossil student - I found the whole "self & others" class very frustrating but always enjoy theory)

Anyways, I read your first post George. I am pleased you decided to keep it going (although only in ground effect for the first while) rather than stall the wings of knowledge.
