| Discussion Question: Birthd Order |
NOTE: This is a public forum so students should consider their responses carefully before posting.
One of the concepts that students most enjoy about Adler’s
theory are his ideas about birth order.
For this discussion, carefully read the text and lecture
notes on Adler’s birth order and then respond to the following
questions:
1. Of the five designated birth order positions Adler
identifies (oldest, second child, middle child, youngest and only
child), which of these positions do you think has the most
challenging developmental task of growing up to become a healthy,
mature adult? Explain your rationale in detail taking an
objective approach that is not based on your own family
experience.
2. If you were an Adlerian therapist, which of the five birth
order positions do you think would be most challenging to work
with? Support your reasoning with some objective facts about the
types of behavior found in that birth order position.
3. What birth order position best fits your experience in
your family of origin? Do you believe his description gives an
accurate picture of you and your siblings? Explain your response in
detail.
