Topics include myth of women's inferiority, division of labor and power. Masculine protest and its relation to competence. Adler's critique of Freud. Discussion of sexuality, love and marriage. Paper Introduction: Review Cooperation Between the Sexes (1978) is a compilation, edited and translated by Heinz Ansbacher, of writings by Alfred Adler on sex, feminism, love, marriage, and what those entail in the realm of psychology. According to Ansbacher (1978), Alfred Adler's theory of sexuality "is best characterized as the opposite of the Freud's" (Ansbacher, 1978, p. v). Furthermore, Ansbacher believed that since Adler believed in the unity of the personality, "a presentation of his sexual theories will be practically an introduction to his theory of personality as a whole" (p. v). To Adler, sex, social relations, and work were the three greatest problems in life that a person must face (Ansbacher, 1978, p. v).
