Excerpt from the writings of Alfred Adler) "The honest psychologist cannot shut his eyes against the fact that conditions exist which prevent the entering of the child into the community, prevent his feeling at home, and let him grow up as if in enemy country. The honest psychologist must therefore talk and work also against poorly understood nationalism if it harms the community of all men; against wars of conquest, revenge, and prestige; against the drowning of the people in hopelessness due to widespread unemployment; and against all other disturbances of the spreading of social interest in the family, the school, and the social life (p. 65)" Adler, Alfred. (1964). Superiority and social interest: a collection of later writings. H. L. Ansbacher & H. H. Ansbacher Eds. New York: Basic Books.
