Self-Analysis - Karen Horney #865092

The book explores the theme of self-analysis as a tool for addressing neuroses and fostering personal growth. Through concrete examples, such as Clare's analysis, the author demonstrates how it is possible to identify and understand one's psychological patterns and confront internal resistances. The process of self-discovery is examined, with particular attention to the ability to free oneself from illusions, emotional dependencies, and defense mechanisms, promoting a harmonious and autonomous development of personality. While acknowledging the limitations and challenges of self-analysis, the author emphasizes its transformative potential, especially for those with a basic understanding of psychoanalytic principles.
