How might Adler’s personality and life experiences have infl uenced his belief that: (a) conscious and unconscious act together to serve a person’s chosen goals, and personality is not torn by painful inner confl icts? (b) introspectiveness is one of the characteristics with which the “weakling” seeks to defend himself? (c) inherited instincts are a “superstition” and have no effect on personality? (d) unhealthy character traits (such as arrogance and shyness) and anxiety are “cheap tricks” for avoiding life’s diffi culties, whereas neurosis is also an “easy way of escape”?
