KAREN HORNEY "first to make a psychology of women"

born; 1885, Blankenese, Germany died; 1952, New York City, New York

Horney vs. Freud Horney; -studied classical Freudian theory but soon disagreed with personality being decided by sexual drive -says personality is changable, not biological -says sexual pleasure does not shape a personality -disagreed with the oedipal theory, libido concepts, & three part personality -introduced womb envy

NEUROSIS; Horney says peoples' distress is an attempt to make life bearable. Then, needs become severely intense & anxiety develops if those needs aren't met. Freud had the pessimistic view that was skeptical of human potential. Horney was optimistic & thought humans were good & able to change.
