Description
"Two decades after her death, Karen Horney's views on feminine psychology have finally been incorporated into orthodox psychoanalytic thought. Her historical importance is at last recognized. During her lifetime, however, she was a center of controversy. Karen Horney was among the first women admitted to medical school in Germany. Early in her psychoanalytic career she challenged Freud himself on his theories about female sexuality. Settling in the United States in the early 1930s, she stirred debate in the psychoanalytic community here and ultimately set up her own independent organization. Her vibrant, charismatic personality aroused admiration and loyalty in friends, colleagues, lecture audiences, students, and patients; but the strength with which she defended her convictions brought her opposition as well. Dr. Rubin's biography is the first full-length, authoritative account of Karen Horney's life. It gives vivid insight into the relationships among Freud's followers in Berlin in the early decades of the century; the development of psychoanalysis as a profession in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York in the 1930s and 1940s; and the disputes that led Horney and her followers to break with the establishment. He recognizes the significance of Karen Horney's full personal life in perceptive descriptions of her childhood, marriage, and raising of her three daughters who became achievers in their own right. Rubins's treatment of Horney's intense friendships with many of the intellectual and artistic leaders of her time, such as Paul Tillich and Erich Fromm, gives further dimension to this thoughtful and warmly written biography"--
