The main aim of Individual Psychology, as proposed by Alfred Adler, centers around the concept of developing an adaptive lifestyle. This approach emphasizes the importance of social context, individual goals, and the way that people perceive and strive for their goals in life. Adler believed that individuals have a fundamental drive to overcome feelings of inferiority and to find their place within their communities.

By developing an adaptive lifestyle, individuals can achieve personal growth and balance in their lives, addressing both their individual needs and their relational dynamics. The focus is on fostering a sense of belonging and contribution to society, which further enhances personal development and mental well-being. This focus on adaptation helps clients understand how their behaviors and personality traits can evolve in response to their social environment, enhancing their overall functioning and satisfaction in life.
