organ inferiority, n.All

Organ inferiority (n.) is, ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in Adler's theory, where character and neurosis begin: overcompensation for a bodily weakness, driven by the will to power.

Organ inferiority (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠also an opportunity: the weakness that must struggle hardest heightens the chance of compensation, overcompensation and new, higher achievement.

Organ inferiority (n.) was ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Adler's explanation of who fails before danger; Freud finds it wholly inadequate despite the appeal of simplicity as the seal of truth.
