27. Freud and Adler

Freud created a whole new science which was called psychoanalysis. It posited the idea that an individual’s problems can be identified in the subconscious, especially in childhood perceptions. As we have shown, such deep-rooted problems do indeed exist, though most of them are not caused by deep-lying causes but by quite superficial conditioned reflexes.

Compensation is a form of behaviour originating in the subconscious or in the cognition of a personal shortcoming. When the individual grasps the problem he can reject compensatory behaviour which is usually negative. Psychoanalysts do not deal with positive behaviour. But what is really being compensated? The cognition of the state of discomfort.

Psychoanalysts have written volumes on compensatory behaviour, but they have not emphasized the main aspect, which is that types of compensation differ depending on what exactly is being compensated. Types of discomfort differ widely. If an individual is regarded as a nonentity then that causes him to feel discomfort. But if the individual knows that he has to fight to become someone, then he will fight and will become that person.

For instance, the fight for the status of non-child and equal can also be called the compensatory struggle. The individual is governed by the compensation required for the unworthy position he finds himself in. But this is absolutely normal behaviour. The child grows out of his trousers, there is no need to cut him off at the knees.

Something similar occurs when the individual achieves social status. The individual comes into this world a nobody. The individual is not happy with his status as a nobody, he demands compensation from society, he is compensated, he fights for status, recognition, respect. And this is also normal. This is the struggle for biological rank, not yet for social rank, as social ranks still exist in societies. The task may be further complicated if the individual has a health defect, although human society allows a whole range of possibilities to be realized, and the individual only has to choose one.

But a different situation arises when a person has a defect and he tries to compensate for that defect by belittling those around him, by creating in them conditioned reflexes, and by making them suffer. If correct compensatory behaviour elevates an individual, then this version tries to denigrate those around him.

In particular the ‘inferiority complex’ is compensated for. This is a term invented by Dr Adler who developed Freud’s ideas by moving away from them. What is compensated is the condition considered by the individual or his programs to be incorrect.

How does this compensation take place? Wealth and connections are flaunted, status is imagined, cars are bought that are not affordable. In other words, ‘if you want everyone to know you have a small penis, just buy yourself a big car’. More often than not it is not the small penis that is being compensated, or problems with health, but the alpha features. If alpha features are present then they are exploited and developed. Besides, it is
