The Practice and Theory of...

Alfred Adler

Though psychologist Alfred Adler (1870-1937) does not have the wider recognition accorded Freud and Jung, his work and ideas had an enduring effect on the practice and development of psychotherapy in the 20th century. This collection of 28 lectures and essays, published under the title The Practice and Theory of Individual Psychology (published in 1924), brings together many of his main ideas. 
Adler was initially best known for his interest in the inferiority complex and its effect on the personality and subsequent behaviour of individuals. But his focus became increasingly concerned with the particular observation that it was the social environment of individuals that had a more fundamental influence on behavioural patterns than over-arching theories on sex, symbolism, archetypes and the like. He has been described as the first ‘community psychologist.’ This contributed considerably to the growth of schools of psychotherapy in the second half of the 20th century and their proliferation in the 21st. In fact, one historian has commented, “It would not be easy to find another author from which so much has been borrowed on all sides without acknowledgement than Alfred Adler.’ 
The topics covered in this collection are varied and date from the pre- and post World War I period. It opens with Individual Psychology, its Assumptions and its Results (1914) and includes Individual-Psychological Treatment of Neuroses (1913), The Study of Child Psychology and Neurosis (1913), Nervous Insomnia (1914), Compulsion Neurosis (1918), Dreams and Dream-Interpretation (1912), and Demoralized Children (1920). 
His range is wide: Among them are essays such as Neurotic Hunger Strike and New Viewpoint of War Neuroses, both concerns that regularly feature in newspapers and public discussion today. As a contrast, he offers interesting observations on the writing of Dostoyevsky, and one particular case of the suicide of a prominent 19th century Austrian politician. 
This recording also contains (Chapter XIV) the 1918 lecture Homo-sexuality which Adler gave to the Jurististisch-Medizinische Gesellschaft of Zurich. It represents views widely held by the society of the time, which are now unacceptable. The chapter is nevertheless included here for historical purposes.

The Urban-Rural Divide -...

Lyric Vale

The urban-rural divide is a concept that encompasses the differences between urban and rural areas in terms of population, economy, infrastructure, social services, and quality of life. As the world has rapidly urbanized in the past few centuries, the divide has grown wider, shaping the way people experience and interact with the world around them. Understanding the urban-rural divide requires looking not just at geographical distinctions but also at the historical, social, and economic forces that have led to the creation of these disparities.
At its core, the urban-rural divide refers to the uneven distribution of resources, opportunities, and access to services. Urban areas, often characterized by their dense population, advanced infrastructure, and proximity to economic opportunities, tend to attract people from rural areas in search of better livelihoods. On the other hand, rural areas are often defined by their smaller populations, agricultural economies, and more limited access to healthcare, education, and technological advancements. Over time, this gap has widened as cities have grown into centers of global commerce, culture, and innovation, leaving rural communities to face challenges such as depopulation, economic stagnation, and a lack of essential services.
This divide is not just a modern phenomenon. Historically, the urban-rural relationship has been shaped by factors like industrialization, the rise of agriculture, and migration patterns. During the Industrial Revolution, for example, many people from rural areas flocked to cities in search of work, marking a key moment in the expansion of the urban-rural divide. These migration patterns have continued in the present day, with rural populations in many countries continuing to shrink as more people move to urban centers for better prospects.
