Chapter 06
Horney: Psychoanalytic Social Theory
1. Discuss Karen Horney’s criticism of Sigmund Freud.

Answer:

A. Horney believed that Freud’s psychoanalysis was too rigid and that strict adherence to it would lead to stagnation in both
theory and practice.
B. Horney’s strongest differences with Freud were on the issue of feminine psychology. To Horney, psychic differences between
women and men are not due to anatomy or instincts but due to cultural and social expectations.
C. Horney recognized the possibility of an Oedipus complex, but she insisted that it is not universal and not due to biology.
According to her, the Oedipus complex results from environmental conditions and is found only in those people who have a
neurotic need for love.
D. Horney objected to the notion of penis envy, but she recognized that many women have a masculine protest, or a pathological
belief that men are superior to women.
E. Horney believed that people are not ruled by the pleasure principle but by the needs for safety and satisfaction.

2. Discuss Karen Horney’s concepts of neurotic needs and neurotic trends.

Answer:

A. Horney originally identified 10 categories of neurotic needs that underlie the attempts of neurotics to combat basic anxiety.
One person may use several neurotic needs in an attempt to deal with other people.
B. The 10 neurotic needs are (1) the need for affection and approval, (2) the need for a powerful partner, (3) the need to restrict
one’s life within narrow borders, (4) the need for power, (5) the need to exploit others, (6) the need for social recognition or
prestige, (7) the need for personal admiration, (8) the need for ambition and personal achievement, (9) the need for self-
sufficiency and independence, and (10) the need for perfection and unassailability.
C. Later, Horney grouped these 10 neurotic needs into three basic attitudes, or neurotic trends. The three neurotic trends are (1)
moving toward people, which includes neurotic needs 1, 2, and 3; (2) moving against people, which includes neurotic needs 4, 5,
6, 7, and 8; and (3) moving away from people, which includes neurotic needs 9 and 10.
D. Each of the three neurotic trends has a normal analog. Moving toward people translates as a friendly, loving attitude in normal
people; moving against people has a normal analog of survivability in a competitive society; and the normal analog for moving
away from people is an autonomous and serene attitude.

3. Comment on Karen Horney’s unique contribution to feminine psychology within the promasculine psychoanalytic view. Be
sure to address the main tenets of Sigmund Freud that Horney rejected.

Answer:

A. Horney asserted that the psychic differences between men and women were not the result of anatomy or biological differences
but rather of cultural and social forces. An example includes male domination over women due to neurotic competitiveness.
Thus, basic anxiety underlies a man’s need to subjugate women and a woman’s wish to humiliate men.
B. Specific Freudian concepts that Horney challenged, and ultimately rejected, include the Oedipus complex and penis envy. She
concluded that anatomy was not destiny and that a child’s insecurities should not be attributed to sexual or anatomical causes.
Instead, a child may have a neurotic need for love and affection, which may be expressed through clingy behavior or excessive
jealousy. Ultimately, a child’s main goal is security and the privileges typically afforded by males in most cultures.
C. In 1994, Bernard J. Paris published a paper on a lecture Horney delivered in 1935. Essentially summarizing her views on
feminine psychology, she argued that culture and society are responsible for psychological differences between the genders and
that a general psychology of both men and women was more valuable than a detailed analysis of the aspects that separate men
and women. She captured this well in the following: “Paradoxical as it may sound, we shall find out about these differences only
if we forget about them.”
