Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis
by Karen Horney
Published for the first time: 1/1/1945
250 pages, Paperback
Genres: Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, Psychology, Self Help, Nonfiction, Philosophy, Mental Health
Unlike Freud, Horney 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. . . . But [they] can be resolved by changing the conditions within the personality that brought them into being."
