Horney, Karen

PSICOLOGIA FEMENINA; Alianza Editorial

Madrid: El Libro de Bolsillo, 1977. Paperback. 312 pages. 18 x 11 cm. A collection of Horney's early papers on Feminine Psychology. Karen Horney (1885-1952) was a German-born American psychoanalyst who, departing from many of the basic principles of Sigmund Freud, believed the environment and social conditions determined much of an individuals personality. Horney wrote extensively about her disagreement with Freud's view of female psychology, which he treated as an offshoot of male psychology - rejecting such notions as penis envy and other manifestations of male bias in psychoanalytic theory. Interior clean, covers lightly toned. Text in Spanish. Color illustrated wraps. Very good. Item #4128
