Description
Neuroses and Human Development Book Description In terms of psychoanalysis, Karen Horney's relationship with Freud's theory, which attracted attention with her original works in the post-Freudian generation, is similar to Marx's relationship with Hegel's philosophy: While she takes Freud's theory as a basis, she does not refrain from criticizing it. He develops an approach that brings a more humanistic aspect to Freud's views and takes into account the effects of cultural and social differences. Concentrating on women's psychology, Horney brought a different perspective to psychoanalysis by saying, "The main goal is the liberation of the forces that lead people to self-realization," and broke new ground in the literature with her studies on neuroses, which she compiled comprehensively in this work. Neurotic states that restrict human energy and the manifestations of the condition. He revealed the desire for grandeur, the pressure of the ideal self, the tyranny of internal commands, and defined the models that condemn us to lives we do not want with compulsive behaviors instead of realizing ourselves: the expansionist type that puts pressure on the environment, the type that isolates itself from the environment by withdrawing, the type that connects to others, and the detached type that distances itself from human relations. .. Neuroses and Human Development is an authoritative work intended not only for experts but also for readers investigating the roots of their mental distress. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
