Karen Horney is one of the most famous of the Post-Freudian psychoanalysts. Horney's concepts examine the root causes of neurosis, basic anxiety, an idealized self image, and internal conflicting behavioral impulses. They are insightful, but honestly I don't always agree with her ideology. Her behavioral paradigm is useful for understanding the psychoanalytic view of human behavior I will admitt. And understanding her concepts can be valuable for those who are studying psychology and are already in the field, but I would not recommend this book as a "relaxing read". Some Psychology books are, plenty are actually, but not this one. This book should be kept as a "If you want to understand the psychoanalytic theory, and your tired of Freud, read Karen Horney."
