What did Adler say about birth order that would apply to Martin’s life?
What will be an ideal response?
Martin was a first-born child and Adler would suggest that this made him feel superior and powerful. This may have helped Martin become a lawyer. However, he may also be a neglected child. The case study states, “At times the family was eligible for welfare assistance but his father refused to apply for it because it would have hurt his pride. Occasionally, the children went to bed hungry because of this.” and “Neither parent was very affectionate toward the children and sometimes the children’s basic physical needs were not even met, especially at those times when his father was out of work. Martin often felt alone and had commented at one point that neither of his parents really loved him.” Being a neglected child would cause Martin to become cold, suspicious, hard and untrusting. This may also be why he is such a successful attorney.
