Development of Personality/Lifestyle
Adler believed that a style of life or Lifestyle develops early in life by age six. This includes a self concept, a self ideal, a view of the world, view of other people, and a conclusion or a final fictional goal of a place of significance.
There are a substantial number of related concepts highlighted below. There are a multitude of support resources available including video lectures and demonstrations on collecting Lifestyle information. Dreikurs noted that one can understand everything about a person in an hour. He was not referring to all details of the person's life but the line of movement of the individual reaffirming a place of significance among others.
We welcome additional contributions to this growing set of resources and discussions on the application of the concepts.
