# [[Alfred Adler]]
![[Alfred Adler.svg]]
Alfred Adler was an Austrian medical doctor who was an early fan of [[Sigmund Freud]]'s theory of [[Psychoanalysis]]. He was also a contemporary of [[Carl Jung]], but ended up developing theories that ran somewhat counter to both Jung's and Freud's theories.
In particular, while Jung and Freud both believed that traumatic events in our past shape how we behave in the future, Adler's psychology emphasises how our goals and aspirations are what shape our behaviour.
