About this ebook
In Neurosis and Human Growth, Dr. Horney discusses the neurotic process as a special form of the human development, the antithesis of healthy growth. She unfolds the different stages of this situation, describing neurotic claims, the tyranny or inner dictates and the neurotic's solutions for relieving the tensions of conflict in such emotional attitudes as domination, self-effacement, dependency, or resignation. Throughout, she outlines with penetrating insight the forces that work for and against the person's realization of his or her potentialities.
First Published in 1950. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Extremely enlightening for sufferers of OCD (the ravaging disease, not the ridiculed initialism). I wish Horney and Alfred Adler could have known that the "neuroses" they investigate so precisely often if not always result from somatic disorders of thought and memory instead of exaggerated personal feelings that probably wouldn't cause anyone to be gravely ill unless genuine neural pathology were involved. Horney's gaze misses nothing in the actual human behaviors and what they seem to imply.
