How to Speak How to Listen by Mortimer Adler discusses the best techniques to use while in an argument. According to Adler, ethos signifies one’s character. Ethos is present when one is trying to have a character that is fitting for the purpose at hand. Ethos includes making yourself attractive to the audience and proving to them that you are credible. An example of having ethos has a lot to do with how I would present myself to the audience. In order for them to believe that I am credible, I must look the part, that includes cleanliness, looking put together, and healthy. If the audience sees that you can take care of yourself, then they have a higher chance of believing that you can take care of them and their situation. Using ethos can also include presenting the audience with a personal story. This will fill them in with background information about myself and let them know how my character played out during whatever situation I spoke about. The situation would have to be similar to the one the audience is facing, in order for them to draw parallels and better understand how I would handle that particular event.

Understand, interpret, direct. This statement is an oversimplification of sorts, but defines the essence of Adlerian psychotherapy. From this minimal overview of Adlerian theory, we can begin to elaborate and explore the intricacies of individual psychology. Adlerians are concerned with understanding the unique and private beliefs and strategies of the individual (private logic and mistaken notions) that we create in childhood, and which serve as a reference for attitudes, private views of self, others and the world, and behavior (lifestyle). Therapeutic work with clients involves short-term and intensive work to increase social interest, to encourage a greater sense of responsibility for behavior, and to support behavioral change.
The Adlerian therapy believes that people are self-determined decision-makers free to choose the goals they want to pursue. This would be helpful to Ruth because she is not clear on who she is, aside from being a mother, wife, and student. She realizes that she does not have a good sense of what she wants from herself and that she typically has chosen to live according to others expectations of her. For the Adlerian theory the therapeutic process helps individuals become aware of their patterns and make some basic changes in their style of living which leads to changes in the way they feel and behave. This would be helpful to Ruth because she describes her life as uneventful predictable and feels panic reaching the age of 40. Using the concept of anti-deterministic from Gestalt and Existential. These theorist believe that people have the ability to change and become more responsible. This will make Ruth more responsible and not just live up to others expectations of her but her own expectations. Assisting Ruth resolve past issues by bringing them into the here and now. Bringing her feelings up to the here and now from when her father caught her playing doctor at the age of six with an eight year old boy. Gestalt theory of the here and now is useful because this would resolve repressed feelings she had about her own emerging sexuality during adolescence. Theoretical

He also introduced the terms inferiority and superiority complex, so commonly used nowadays, to the world.
