This paper integrates the interpersonal model of Schutz (1966) and Schutz's (1978) instrument for evaluating interpersonal relationships, FIRO-B (Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation-Behavior), with Adler's life tasks and typology. The paper begins with a description of Schutz's Interpersonal model in which Schutz, like Adler, views personality as existing within a social context but sees it as being manifested through the three fundamental interpersonal dimensions of inclusion, control, and affection. The FIRO-B, an assessment instrument designed to measure Schutz's three-dimensional model of interpersonal relationship is also described and psychometric properties of the FIRO-B are discussed. The document shows how Schutz's model supplements Adler's conceptualization of life tasks and typology and how the FIRO-B can be used as a tool for measuring Adlerian life tasks. It also shows how Adler's and Schutz's conceptualizations are similar although not exactly the same. It is concluded that the correspondence between the conceptualizations of Schutz and Adler is sufficient for the FIRO-B to become a useful measuring tool in Adlerian psychology. (NB)
