Karen Horney and Character Disorder: A Guide for the Modern Practitioner

The revolutionary contributions of psychoanalyst Karen Horney hold special interest for today’s clinician. Her focus on the present-oriented treatment of character pathology offers the once-per-week practitioner a means of conducting meaningful deep treatment. And Horney’s feminist orientation and break from Freudians makes her a palatably critical analyst for the ages.

Through his use of clinical illustration, precise Horneyan interpretation and the application of Horney’s optimistic attitude toward patient change and growth, Dr. Solomon prepares practitioners to conduct Horneyan therapy and successfully treat character disorder, the most common dysfunction of our time.
