Who Is Karen Horney?
A pioneer in psychoanalysis, Karen Horney was a visionary who questioned the role of gender in the development of the neurotic personality as well as the importance of society and culture as determining and gauging factors for normal and pathological development.
Horney’s advanced theories regarding neurosis and personality led her in 1937 to publish the popularly read book, “The Neurotic Personality of Our Time.” She founded the Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis and the American Institute for Psychoanalysis. Horney founded these organizations because she was dissatisfied with the generally strict, orthodox nature of the psychoanalytic community. She is the only female founder of a psychoanalytic school of thought.
