Jeffrey is a twenty-years old guy attending Sussex University. He was a top performer in his class, always punctual, helpful but was very shy and unsure of himself. One night his friends took him to a party and there he met Sue. She was so charming and beautiful. Jeffrey took an instant liking to her but because he felt so inferior to her, he did not say much. He did not want her to think he was a nerd and so when she encouraged him to try drink alcohol, he did even though he was not a drinker. After that he could not remember a thing about the party. He woke up the next day in his room on the bathroom floor. Sue was also attending the university and she enjoyed pretending she likes Jeffrey so that she can get him to buy her stuff and she also encouraged him to drink a lot.

His drinking soon started affecting his grades and so he was encouraged to see a psychologist. QUESTION Using the Adlerian therapeutic approach analyze the case study and give Jeffrey the necessary tools to help him overcome his inferiority complex
