Karen Horney (1885~--1952), an influential
German-born
American psychiatrist who was
trained in Berlin and then came to the United
States where she helped
establish the
Association for the Advancement of
Psychoanalysis (which reflected her own and others' disaffection with traditional theories of Sigmund
Freud,
founder of
psychoanalysis). Opposing
Freud's
basic theory (that an
individual's
behavior is influenced by
unconscious impulses, drives and instincts originating in childhood and thus shaping the person into adulthood), she believed that a
primary condition for later problems in
life was that a child feels "isolated and helpless in a potentially hostile
world" and the various strategies a child adopts to
cope with this
anxiety can eventually become persistent and
lead to
personality disorders. She also believed that a person's
personality is influenced by social
conditions and the
environment, and emphasized this
point in her books. You
want to take one of Horney's books, or something like that, on psychoanalism and to
read it to a
party sometime.
