Description

One of the most original psychoanalysts after Freud, Karen Horney pioneered such now-familiar concepts as alienation, self-realisation, and the idealised image, and she brought to psychoanalysis a new understanding of the importance of culture and environment.

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 realisation of his or her potentialities.
