title: Horneyan developmental psychoanalytic theory and its application to the treatment of the young.
abstract: The early work of Dr. Karen Horney has been reviewed, including her ideas concerning neurotogenesis, the formation of basic anxiety, basic conflict as a result of disordered attachment, and various conflict solutions. In addition, her pioneering ideas regarding the real self and self-realization have been mentioned. It has been shown that the application of her ideas in clinical work with the young results in a rational approach to suffering children and their families.
