to read and write, to do sums, to do things on their own. Although the client characteristics
may influence the exposure to neglect by his mother it is important to consider the home
environment and context of child characteristics and not view the child characteristics in
isolation. Neglected children demonstrate lack of emotional regulation, understanding
emotional expressions by others, and difficulty in distinguishing emotions. According to
Alfred adler, the client as a Second-born children are constantly in the shadow of their older
siblings. They are incessantly “striving for superiority under pressure,” driven by the
existence of their older, more powerful sibling. Since the child is in the stage of seeking
belongingness from others, as a humanist, Maslow believed that people have an inborn
desire to be self-actualized, that is, to be all they can be. In order to achieve these ultimate
goals, however, a number of more basic needs must be met such as the need for food,
safety, love, and self-esteem. The basic physiological needs are probably fairly apparent
