      • Social and Economic Position of the Family
      • Parental Attitudes
      • Family Constellation
      • Gender Role

    • The Style of Life (Five Atttitudes)
      • Attitude Toward Self
      • Attitude Toward Difficulties
      • Attitude Toward Others
      • Attitude Toward the Other Sex
      • Attitude Toward Life

    • The Three Life Tasks
      • Other People
      • Occupation
      • Love and Sex
