An Adlerian perspective of Ernest Hemingway

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the application of Adlerian life style techniques would provide greater understanding of the psychological factors which shaped the life of Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway's birth order position, the dynamics and atmosphere of his family, and the early recollections of his childhood were studied and analyzed for a consistent theme or belief system. Biographies, critical evaluations of his work and selected published writing were utilized to provide a basis for a life style projection. This projection was then found to correlate with observable incidents in his adult behavior.
