Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adler would see Jade's relationship with her mother as parasitic, meaning that Jade depends on her mother for decision-making and direction in her life, and does not have the autonomy or independence to make her own choices. Jade's mother is also controlling and dictating Jade's career path, which is not necessarily aligned with Jade's own interests and desires.
