Rudolf Dreikurs developed a theory of individual psychology focused on children's motivation to belong and feel valued by their peers. When these needs are not met, children may act out in attention-seeking, power-seeking, revenge-seeking, or inadequacy-displaying behaviors. Dreikurs advocated using logical and natural consequences rather than punishment. He promoted democratic teaching methods based on mutual respect between teachers and students. This approach aims to eliminate students' feelings of inferiority while encouraging participation and problem-solving. Benefits include reduced conflict and greater self-discipline from students. Limitations include some teachers and students not responding well to democratic methods.
