Study Notes
- Horney (1950) posited that individuals are born with the capacity for sound development, contingent on conducive growth conditions.
- These conditions involve a nurturing environment balanced with appropriate discipline, essential for fostering safety, satisfaction, and alignment with one's true self.
- Adverse influences, notably parental inability or unwillingness to love, can impede these conditions.
- Parental neurotic needs may manifest as domination, neglect, overprotection, rejection, or overindulgence.
- Failure to meet a child's needs for safety and satisfaction can lead to basic hostility towards parents.
- Children typically repress this hostility rather than express it openly, often without conscious awareness.
- Repressed hostility results in insecurity and apprehension, termed basic anxiety.
- Horney (1950) defined basic anxiety as "a feeling of being isolated and helpless in a world conceived as potentially hostile".
- Horney (1937) also described it as "a feeling of being small, insignificant, helpless, deserted, endangered, in a world that is out to abuse, cheat, attack, humiliate, betray, envy".
