This book systematically discusses the theory of cultural neurosis and strongly refutes Freud's biological determinism. It is a thorough critique and revision of traditional psychoanalysis as well as one of Horney's most representative works. It marks the beginning of the social-cultural school of thought in the field of psychoanalytic study. Upon its release, it elicited a dramatic response from readers and has been reprinted several times.
Karen Horney, a German-American psychologist and psychiatrist, was a representative figure in neo-Freudian psychoanalysis. She advocated for replacing Freud's biological determinism with cultural determinism and argued that the social environment was an important cause of inner conflict in neurotic patients. For this reason, the entire New York psychoanalytic community announced their disassociation with her, and she was forced to leave the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. Her representative works include New Ways of Psychoanalysis and Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis.
