(Psychology of Women)
 Disagreement with Freud
(1) Views of Women
(2) Basic Anxiety over Instincts
(3) Environmental factors & people
(4) Freudian perspective was too pessimistic; there are
things to look forward to in life – people can be warm
& loving and have positive growth
(5) Freud over-emphasized childhood; for Horney, all
experiences are important
(6) Don’t need Oedipal struggle to develop morality –
children can model themselves after both parents
 Female Psychology
• Oedipus/Electra Complex was wrong
• Girls do not envy penis; they like themselves
and are aware of their vaginas
• Children both envy and are interested
naturally in the opposite sex child’s genitals
but do not desire them in neurotic ways
• Girls do not change their area of pleasure and
do not change their love from mother to
father, etc.
