Question

Which phrase corresponds most closely to adler's concept of a "fictional finalism"?

Answer 1

I found the excercise on internet and here are the options for the above questions.
A) what we think will satisfy our sense of what is lacking in our lives
B) pretending that we have finally reached the goal
C) a book or journal in which we imagine the last year of life and write about it
D) a false theory which has been finally given up
The correct option is "A".

"Fictional Finalism" is psychoanalytic hypothesis of Alfred Adler. The conviction that individuals are all the more emphatically roused by the objectives and standards that they make for themselves and more affected by future potential outcomes, than by past occasions, for example, childhood experience.
