Getting acquainted with basic psychological directions many times forms part of the teaching of nasal psychological subjects. In fewer cases, specifically targeted courses are carried out, and the evaluation of pedagogical results often rests solely on the evaluation of knowledge. Individual psychology is one of the most well-known psychological/therapeutic approaches that works with a specific expressional system. Proper interpretation of individual terms is a prerequisite for understanding this theory. It turns out that students who come to higher education can have relatively stable bowlers in the field of psychology. In our work, we based ourselves on the assumption that certain inaccuracies may also appear in the case of knowledge related to individual psychology. We decided, through the method of free associations, to find out what image of individual psychology are created by those students who complete general psychological subjects and what image those students who take a special, individual psychology-focused course create about individual psychology. Our results indicate that there are qualitative and quantitative differences between graduates and non-graduates of the special course. Theoretical concepts as well as practical aspects of individual psychology are more represented among graduates of a specific course. For non-graduates, it would be necessary to raise awareness of essential concepts such as a sense of belonging, lifestyle and holisticism (while teaching basic psychological subjects), while in the case of graduates more attention should be paid to those concepts whose importance differs from the meaning used in the common language. Understanding the ideas of fundamental psychological approaches is frequently involved in the teaching of key psychology courses. Only in a small number of cases are specific courses implemented and the evaluation of pedagogical outcomes is often based on the knowledge assessment solely. Individual psychology is one of the most well-known psychological / therapeutic approaches that operates with approach-specific terms. Proper interpretation of individual terms is therefore a prerequisite for understanding this theory. Students coming to university might have relatively stable misconceptions in the field of psychology. In our study, we assumed that certain inaccuracies may appear in the knowledge related to the individual psychology. We therefore decided, using the method of free associations, to examine what perception those students who completed general psychological courses formed about individual psychology compared to those students who completed a specific, on individual psychology-oriented course. Our results suggest that there are both qualitative and quantitative differences between graduates and non-graduates of the specific course. Theoretical concepts along with the practical aspects of individual psychology are more represented among the graduates of a specific course. Non-graduate students would need to raise awareness of key concepts such as belonging, lifestyle and holism (while teaching general psychology courses), while graduates should pay more attention to concepts whose meaning differs from that used in the common language.
