WHY PEOPLE CAN CHANGE? Adlerian psychology tells about to think about the present "goals" rather than the past "causes". No incident in the past can determine the way a person can behave in the present. it is based on teleology(studying the purpose of given phenomenon rather than cause) rather than etiology (study of causation). TRAUMA DOES NOT EXIST Freuds Psychology says that trauma or psychic wounds cause his or her present unhappiness. Adler says no experience in itself is a cause of our success or failure. we do not suffer from the chock of our experiences the so called trauma but instead we make out of them whatever suits our purpose. we are not determined by our experiences but the meaning we give them is self determining. We determine our own lives according to the meaning we give to that past experiences. Our Life is not something that someone gives you, but something you choose yourself and you are the one who decides how you live. PEOPLE FABRICATE ANGER A
