Adler is a physician, a psychiatrist, a doctor, who begins his professional life by treating mentally ill patients, addicts, and sociopaths. In the process, he differs from Freud in the way he treats his patients and finds commonalities with healthy people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adler’s view of mankind is free from Freud’s view that all human beings are capable of changing the way they think and move toward their goals, whereas Freud’s view is that the ability to change is a function of age, and that as people get older, this ability weakens. Adler is free from this, and establishes the view of human beings that “all human beings can change the way they think and move toward their goals.
However, it is common, not only among the elderly, for values to harden and an attitude of refusal to change to surface, which Adler referred to as lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adler has an interesting view on lifestyle.
Adler has an interesting observation about lifestyle: “There is no such thing as a normal lifestyle, and any lifestyle is appropriate until something unexpected happens that brings the weakness to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adler classified this lifestyle into three behavioral aspects\u3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constructive behavior
Behavior in which people work together to advance their goals in a socially beneficial way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonconstructive behavior
Behavior that is goal-oriented but not beneficial to others, but not harmful either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Destructive Behavior
Behavior that is purposeful but harmful to those around us and hurts both others and ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adler’s theory of purpose is explained in Adler’s words, “Inside every person, whether conscious or unconscious, his or her movements are directed toward a certain purpose. Adler’s primary emphasis is on a sense of community. It is the empathy-based bond that people have with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constructive action is what is required to achieve this sense of community, but Adler points out that lifestyles that do not favor change sometimes choose unconstructive or destructive actions.
The essence of coaching is “mutual understanding based on acceptance and empathy. We notice that the constructive behavior that Adler preaches represents the essence of coaching as action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
