Life and work
The story behind the role.
American-German psychoanalyst.
Karen Horney (; German: [ˈhɔʁnaɪ]; née Danielsen; 16 September 1885 – 4 December 1952) was a German psychoanalyst who practiced in the United States during her later career. Her theories questioned some traditional Freudian views, specifically in theories of sexuality and of the instinct orientation of psychoanalysis. Horney is also credited with founding feminist psychology in response to Freud's theory of penis envy. She disagreed with Freud about inherent differences in the psychology of men and women, and like Alfred Adler, she traced such differences to society and culture rather than biology.
