How is birth order linked to Adler's psychological theories?
Alfred Adler proposed that birth order can significantly influence an individual's personality and behavior. According to Adler, the place one occupies in the family constellation—such as first born, middle child, youngest, or only child—affects their interactions, responsibilities, and roles within the family.
