New ways in psychoanalysis

Book • 1939
In 'New Ways in Psychoanalysis,' Karen Horney critically examines and reinterprets core Freudian concepts, presenting her own distinct theoretical perspective.

Horney challenges traditional psychoanalytic views on female psychology, childhood development, and the origins of neurosis.

She offers alternative explanations for phenomena such as the Oedipus complex, narcissism, and the death drive.

By dissecting Freud's ideas, Horney lays the groundwork for her own theories centered on cultural and social factors influencing personality.

This book marks a pivotal point in the development of Horney's psychoanalytic approach.
