Which term denotes the uniqueness and unity of the individual?

• A. Holism
• B. Individual Psychology
• C. Immediacy
• D. Inferiority Feelings

Answer: (B)

The term denoting the uniqueness and unity of the individual is Individual Psychology, the label Alfred Adler used for his approach. This perspective views a person as an integrated whole, with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors forming one cohesive pattern shaped by goals, lifestyle, and social connectedness. It emphasizes that each person develops a distinctive way of living and a unique sense of self that cannot be fully understood by isolating parts of behavior. Immediacy is about addressing present moments in the therapeutic relationship, and inferiority feelings refer to a motivational driver within Adlerian theory, not the idea of a single, unified person. Holism speaks generally to studying wholes, but the specific term for the theory of a unique, indivisible individual is Individual Psychology.
