ABSTRACT
Adler characterized lifestyle as the “unity in each individual-in his thinking, feeling, acting; in his so-called conscious and unconscious, in every expression of his personality. is (self-consistent) unity we call the style of life of the individual” (Ansbacher & Ansbacher, 1967, p. 175). Lifestyle analysis or assessment is an eort to make explicit the attitudes, beliefs, and convictions one uses in approaching or avoiding one’s life tasks. Although the scope of this work does not provide a comprehensive introduction to methods and techniques of lifestyle assessment, an overview is appropriate and is sucient for the purposes of beginning the process of understanding its validity and usefulness.
