Adlerian Theory ; Another View

Adler presented interesting insights on human behavior. His theory seems to downplay the signifigance of the child's interaction with it's parents, and it's own psychical makeup.It would seem that a child's interaction with it's community is affected by it's interaction with it's parents. As well these interactions will be determined as the child's ego develops and conflicts with it's enviroment.The child's personality will then be molded through these interactions. Consequently it's interactions with it's community will have been determined by it's interactions with it's parents.In this sense much of it's actions are predetermined.
