    Karen Horney's Theory of Personality

    Uploaded by

    Rowenne Tabag
    Karen Horney developed her personality theory in 1942 to disagree with Freud's views on women. Her theory states that people react to situations in different ways by acting bossy, demanding, selfish, or cruel. Erich Fromm developed his isolation theory, which argues that modern man has become isolated from nature and others, resulting in five basic needs: relatedness, transcendence, rootedness, identity, and frame of orientation. If these needs are not met, it can lead to frustration and problems. Abraham Maslow created his hierarchy of needs theory, with self-actualization at the top of fulfilling innate human needs.

    The passage discusses several personality and motivation theories proposed by psychologists Karen Horney, Abraham Maslow, Erich Fromm, and their comparisons to Freudian psychoanalysis.

    Karen Horney disagreed with Freud's view of women and believed people react differently in stressful situations, sometimes acting in bossy, demanding, selfish, or cruel ways against others.

    The three broad categories of neurotic needs according to Horney are needs that move people towards others, needs that move people away from others, and needs that move people against others.

    Abraham Maslow

    Abraham Harold
    Maslow was an American
    psychologist who was
    best known for creating
    Maslow’s hierarchy of
    needs, a theory of
    psychological health
    predicated on fulfilling
    innate human needs in
    priority, culminating in ABRAHAM
    self-actualization. MASLOW
    SELF - ACTUALIZATION THEORY

    Maslow’s quote refers to self-


    actualization, which is the highest level
    or stage in his model of human
    motivation: the ‘Hierarchy of Needs’.
    According to the hierarchy of needs, self
    actualization represents the highest-
    order motivations, which drive us to
    realize our true potential and achieve
    our ideal self.

    ERICH FROMM (1900 - 1980)

    • German - born American


    psychoanalyst and social philosopher
    who explored the interaction between
    psychology and society.
    • By applying psychoanalytic principles
    to the remedy of cultural ills, Fromm
    believed, mankind could develop a
    psychologically balanced “sane
    society.”
    ISOLATION THEORY

    According to this theory, man has


    been isolated from nature and
    other men and this has given rise to
    five basic needs which if not
    satisfied would result in frustration
    and problems.
    FIVE HUMAN BASIC NEEDS
    1. RELATEDNESS
    -man has lost his nearness to nature and so he has to
    relate himself to others based on love and affection.

    2. TRANSCENDENCE
    -man has to submerge his animal nature of greed so that
    he becomes cooperative and productive.

    3. ROOTEDNESS
    -man has to satisfy his need for belongingness to a group
    by brotherly love and affection and so he associates himself
    with other people.
    4. IDENTITY
    -man needs to feel that he is different from
    others and so he tries hard to do or create
    something that would give an identity to him.

    5. FRAME OF ORIENTATION
    -man needs an environment that is stable and
    with consistent events to be able to understand it.
