      BIOGRAPHY

      Horney's family of origin and early years

      Eilbek was a bustling small town on the outskirts of the port of Hamburg, Germany, when Karen Clementine Danielsen was born there on September 15th, 1885. She was the second (and last) child born to Berndt (Wackels) Danielsen, a Norwegian sea captain and his young wife, Sonni. Captain Danielsen had been married before, and had four grown children before he fell in love with this woman 20 years his junior. Clothilde Sonni Van Ronzelen Danielsen was an unusual woman for her time. Described as beautiful, well-educated, sophisticated, and liberal, Sonni was the daughter of a well-known Amsterdam architect. Sonni came to the marriage an independent woman in an era when men were the unquestioned masters of their homes. From early childhood, Karen's mother confided the unhappy details of her married life to her children. As a young girl Karen already knew that her mother had married Wackels Danielsen in 1880 less because of love than the fear that she might not marry at all. She also came to know that her mother wished Captain Danielsen dead. In 1881, their first child, a son also named Berndt had been born, but it did little to stop the already-looming battle between the poorly educated, overly religious Wackels Danielsen and his freethinking, urbane wife. Karen's birth four years later was equally ineffective in uniting the unhappy couple. Throughout their marriage, Wackels Danielsen would continue to go into frequent angry tirades. Equally, Sonni would persist in looking in disdain upon him, considering him far beneath her in life-station.

      Horney wrote of her father,

      He delivers conversion sermons, says endless, rather stupid prayers every morning.... I cannot listen to his sensuous, materialistic, illogical, intolerant views of everything high and holy. He is simply a low, ordinary, stupid character who cannot rise to higher things.

      This excerpt from Horney's diary that she began to keep at age 13 is quite telling. Karen and young Berndt Danielsen called their father the Bible thrower. Apparently Wackels Danielsen's interactions with the family when he was not at sea fluctuated between brief periods of quiet interspersed with terrible arguments with Sonni and severe punitive measures aimed at his children. He was given to rages during which it was not uncommon for him to throw his ever-present Bible across the room. Karen alternately feared and hated her father both for his religious hypocrisy and harsh, authoritarian ways. But perhaps his greatest sin, in her eyes, sprang from her belief that he favored her older brother over her simply because she was a girl.
