Concept introduced by the austrian psychiatrist alfred adler (1870\u20131937).A marked exaggeration of compensatory behavior in an effort to cover up weakness or inferiority, compensation.An attempt by a person to remove the bad effects of a mistake or a fault in their character in which they make too much effort, and so cause some other problem.Conscious or unconscious, exaggerated attempt to overcome or neutralize a real or imagined defect or unwanted characteristic.The situation in which a person tries to overcome a disability by making greater efforts than are required. This may result in the person becoming extremely efficient in what he (or she) is trying to achieve; alternatively, excessive overcompensation may be harmful to the person.The process by which a person substitutes an opposite trait or exerts effort in excess of that needed to compensate for, or conceal, a psychological feeling of guilt, inadequacy, or inferiority. It may lead to maladjustment."}
