TWO INFERIORITIES
FEELING AND COMPLEX. ■ “There is a great difference between inferiority feeling and inferiority complex. The former is a quality of the human being, and when a man does not follow an inferiority feeling, then comes the inferiority complex. When a person suffers from inferiority feeling he suffers from an unfulfilled social task. If our ancestors have contributed something to the world, it is our duty to
contribute something also. No one should suffer from an inferiority feeling. It is only when a man does not realise the facts of life that he will suffer from it. No psycho-therapist can ever cure a man suffering from an inferiority complex; he can treat him. The man must cure himself. We should encourage a man, and make him realise that he is not value less to the community, but that we need everybody.”—Dr Franz Plewa, assistant to the late Dr Alevandra Adler, of Vienna, speaking at the Summer School of the London Group for Individual Psychology.
