Maladjusting teenagers have difficulties and issues covering school and general life. If we cannot understand the mental psychological dynamics of a teenager, it is impossible to cut the link of the lifestyle that is repeated whenever such issues arise. Based on the individual psychological treatment and counseling theory of Adler, this study is to understand the source of the issues that maladjusting teenagers experience and analyze the lifestyle that can react to stress situations and find a way to cut the link of the vicious cycle they are going through and present a policy to prevent such issues. In order to fulfill the purpose of the study, we analyzed novels and studied the lifestyle that are shown during the process of maladjusting teenagers overcoming inferiority and pursuing superiority. Also, through cyber counseling case analysis, we analyzed the evading style life style that is shown from the lives of teenagers.
The protagonist of the novel 『The catcher in the Rye』, Holden Colfield is a rebellious teenager who stops studying continuously. Holden who has intellectual inferiority to his siblings takes on a evading lifestyle that evades the life issues to dodge the stress from inferiority. This brings isolation from the community and brings impulsive style such as depression and anxiety. Upon the cyber counseling case analysis, the conduct type of the Korean teenagers that claim maladjusting can be categorized into passive aggression type, addiction type, lethargy type, ideal pursuit type. The external conduct that these teenagers show are all different but in stress situation, it can be seen as a different type of avoiding lifestyle that ignores the essence of the issue.
In individual psychology, the reason why such various issues arise in life is that during the process of compensating the inferiority, it forms a misguided pathological phenomenon of inferiority and false lifestyle from the lack of community mind for the maladjusting teenager. Therefore, in order to help the major issues of maladjusting teenagers, we can offer to adjust the errors of inferiority complex and improve the community mind and modify the false life style as a healing method.
