The most famous works of the genius psychoanalyst Karen Horney, a bright representative of "neo-Freudianism", are written in easy, pleasant language and are understandable even to non-specialists. Incredibly popular in their time, they have not lost their importance today. The collection includes "New Paths in Psychoanalysis" - a critique of Freud's basic views (libido theory, the concepts of anxiety and narcissism), as well as the unforgettable "The Neurotic Personality of Our Time". Horney convinces the reader in a scientifically precise and stylistically imaginative way that nurture is far more important to the development of the individual than natural predisposition. The book pays special attention not to the past, but to the current conflicts of the neurotic and attempts to solve them, as well as to his current anxieties and the defenses created against them. The book is addressed not only to psychiatrists and psychologists, but also to educators, social workers, anthropologists, and even... neurotics themselves, as they "have a more subtle and accurate understanding of psychological complexities than their healthy counterparts".
