Alfred Adler's Safeguarding Tendencies

Описание: Alfred Adler’s Safeguarding Tendencies | Individual Psychology Explained | Video by Khushdil Khan Kasi

In this lecture, we explore Safeguarding Tendencies, an important concept developed by Alfred Adler, the founder of Individual Psychology.

Adler introduced this idea to explain how individuals protect their fragile self-esteem and avoid feelings of failure or inferiority. Safeguarding tendencies are psychological strategies people unconsciously use to defend their sense of self-worth.

🧠 Core Idea:
According to Adler, some individuals fear failure so strongly that they develop protective behaviors to avoid situations that might threaten their self-image.

These tendencies often appear in three main forms:

• Excuses – blaming circumstances to avoid responsibility for failure
• Aggression – criticizing or attacking others to hide personal weakness
• Withdrawal – avoiding challenges or social interactions to escape possible defeat

Although these strategies temporarily protect self-esteem, they can prevent personal growth and healthy social relationships.
