"Conflicts play an infinitely greater role in neurosis than is commonly assumed. To detect them, however, is no easy matter - partly because they are essentially unconscious, but even more because the neurotic goes to any length to deny their existence." Karen Horney proceeds to show how the neurotic tries to solve his fears of being split apart on the one hand and his need to function as a unity on the other. She develops a dynamic theory of neurosis centered on the basic conflict between the attitudes of "moving toward," "moving against," and "moving away from" people. An individual may be able to create a kind of artificial equilibrium, but new conflicts are generated and further remedies are required that can make the neurotic more hostile, more helpless, more fearful, and more alienated from himself and from others. Dr. Horney makes it clear that, in the hands of experts, the severe neurotics can be helped. Unlike Freud, she does not regard neurosis as rooted in instinct. In her words, her theory is "constructive because ... it allows us for the first time to tackle and resolve neurotic hopelessness.... Neurotic conflicts cannot be resolved by rational decision. The neurotic's attempts at solution are not only futile but harmful. But these conflicts can be resolved by changing the conditions within the personality that brought them into being." "The book represents a definite contribution to the theory and practice of psychoanalysis which is at once intelligent, original, and stimulating." -Ashley Montagu, Psychiatry "One is impressed by the richness of her clinical experience and by her accuracy as an observer and expositor." -Maxwell Gitelson, Social Science Review

As a psychoanalytic pioneer, Karen Horney questioned some of Freud's formulations of psychosexual development, particularly in relation to women.In this collection of papers, many previously unavailable in English, she brings to the subject of femininity her acute clinical observations and a rigorous testing of both her own hypotheses and those formulated by Freud. The topics she discusses include frigidity, the problem of the monogamous ideal, maternal conflicts, the distrust between the sexes, feminine masochism, and the neurotic need for love. Throughout the book, Dr. Horney draws on her experience as a therapist and at the same time consistently evaluates psychological factors within the context of cultural forces.

Neurotic Personality of Our Ti

WW Norton & Co.

As a psychoanalytic pioneer, Karen Horney questioned some of Freud's formulations of psychosexual development, particularly in relation to women.A collection of fifteen essays written by Karen Horney between 1922 and 1936, Feminine Psychology presents groundbreaking material for the study of women as intellectual entities in their own right, rather than theories based on women's supposed disappointment in not being born male. Initially intended as refutations of much of Sigmund Freud's theoretical construction for psychoanalysis, the essays included are representative of Horney's early work and teaching in the area of psychotherapy. The volume is not a comprehensive compilation of all of her essays written during this time period or on this subject. Rather, it is meant to encompass the breadth of Horney's ideas. The book was edited by Harold Kelman, a disciple of Horney and one of the psychoanalysts who, with her, founded the Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis and later became its president.The essays in Feminine Psychology follow a roughly chronological order ("roughly" because dates of presentation and dates of publication often overlap). They span a period of Horney's life which included the collapse of her marriage and her emigration with the youngest of her three daughters to the United States. These personal upheavals are reflected in such essays as "The Problems of Marriage," "Maternal Conflicts," and "The Distrust Between the Sexes."Most of the essays included in this work were presented as scholarly papers

The Collected Works of Karen Horney (2 vols)

W. W. Norton Inc, NY

One of the most original psychoanalysts after Freud, Karen Horney pioneered such now-familiar concepts as alienation, self-realization, and the idealized image, and she brought to psychoanalysis a new understanding of the importance of culture and environment. Karen Horney was born in Hamburg in 1885 and studied at the University of Berlin, receiving her medical degree in 1913. From 1914 to 1918 she studied psychiatry at Berlin-Lankwitz, Germany, and from 1918 to 1932 taught at the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. She participated in many international congresses, among them the historic discussion of lay analysis chaired by Sigmund Freud. Dr. Horney came to the United States in 1932 and for two years was associate director of the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. In 1934 she came to New York and was a member of the teaching staff of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute until 1941, when she became one of the founders of the Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis and the American Institute for Psychoanalysis. In Neurosis and Human Growth, Dr. Horney discusses the neurotic process as a special form of human development: the antithesis of healthy growth. She unfolds the different stages of this situation, describing neurotic claims, the tyranny of inner dictates, and the neurotic's solutions for relieving the tensions of conflict in such emotional attitudes as domination, self-effacement, dependency, or resignation. Throughout, she outlines with penetrating insight the forces that work for and against the person's realization of his or her potentialities.
