Karen Horney:
1. Life of Horney: Karen Horney (1885-1952) was a prominent psychoanalyst and one of
the first women to practice psychoanalysis. She was born in Germany and later moved
to the United States, where she made significant contributions to the field of
psychoanalysis.
2. Breaking from Freud: Horney is known for her critical departure from some of Sigmund
Freud's theories, particularly his emphasis on penis envy and the Oedipus complex. She
developed her own psychodynamic theories that focused on the role of social and
cultural factors in shaping personality.
3. Childhood Needs for Safety: Horney proposed that children have fundamental needs
for safety and security, which can be disrupted by various factors. She identified three
core neurotic needs that arise from these disruptions:
Basic Evil: The idea that some parents or caregivers can behave in ways that
harm a child's emotional well-being.
Basic Hostility: The child's anger and resentment towards parents or caregivers
when their needs for safety are not met.
Basic Anxiety: A pervasive feeling of loneliness and helplessness arising from the
uncertainty of a child's safety, forming the foundation of neurosis.
