Reviews

[em ♡ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting if you study counseling psychology. Horney brings a shift to classic Freudian ideas and brings more focus to the impact of culture on the psyche. The work is unfinished because it is based on a set of lectures that was never completed because of Horney's death.

A contemporary of Jung and Frued, this book of lectures given shortly before her death in 1952 is full of insight about understanding psychotherapy and understanding your self.
