Classical Adlerian Quotes: Alfred Adler on Creative Power

"There is a creative power in the psychic life that is identical with the life force itself. This creative power has the capacity to anticipate, which is what it must do, just as looking ahead appears necessary because human beings move. The psychic life means movement and direction with one goal. Because the individual is not isolated, that goal must be designed by a creative force that springs from the urge to overcome the social problems that bar movement."

"This creative power is a striving power; this creative power can be seen in different views, in the power of evolution, in the power of life, in the power which accomplishes the goal of an ideal completion to overcome the difficulties of life."
