Adler believes that a person is both the artist and the artwork, meaning he creates his own life. It is what we have learned, plus our own reality, and how we are able to interpret it and use it to help the greater good. There is a different way each individual looks at things, and Adler believes that using creativity allows all of us to have hope in helping one another.

There are 5 main components that create the Adlerian Philosophy. These include: socially embedded, self-determined and creative, goal directed/teleological, growth model/striving for significance, and holism.
