This is when she decided to explore psychoanalysis. In 1915, she followed Freudian analysis with Karl Abraham. She began to take patients for analysis in 1919 and worked at the Berlin Psychoanalytic Clinic and Institute until 1932. During this year she joined Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. She published papers in the 1920s which described the topic of orthodox Freudians, especially with psychosexuality.” www.muskingum.edu/~psych/psycweb/history/horney.htm.
She was very close with her older brother and as they grew older he distanced himself from her. This led to her experiencing deeper depression. Horney devoted herself to school and believed “if she couldn’t be pretty she would be smart” (Kendra Cherry, About.com Guide). She entered medical school in 1906 and although a follower of Sigmund Freud’s she disagreed with his ideas on female psychology. Horney added social factors to the basic ideas of Freud's theory.
At the tender age of nine, Horney developed a crush on her brother but was rejected and shunned of reciprocated feelings from him. This is the event that began the downward spiral into the depression that would follow Horney throughout her life (Britannica encyclopedia, 2012). In 1906 Horney decided that if she could not be attractive then she would be smart and enrolled into medical school against both of her parents’ wishes. Horney was one of the first women to enter medical school. Little did anyone know that the events that would soon occur dramatically would change Horney’s life in many ways.
Life and Career of Karen Horney PSY/310 September 20, 2010 Life and Career of Karen Horney In women’s psychology, Karen Horney is a well-known name. She is known as pioneer of psychoanalysis, and as a theorist in personality. She is responsible for giving a new point of view to the issue of women’s thinking in psychology. She has contributed to the field of psychology by using issues in her own life to explore women’s attitudes and how society contributed to the lives of women. Childhood Karen Horney was born as Karen Danielson in Hamburg, Germany in 1885.
The family travelled frequently due to her husband’s job, but eventually settled in Budapest in 1910. She had her third child, Eric, in 1914. While in Budapest, she began studying with psychoanalyst Sandor Ferenczi who encouraged her to psychoanalyze her own children. Out of Klein's work, the technique known as 'play therapy' emerged and is still used extensively today in psychotherapy. She met Sigmund Freud for the first time at the 1918 International Psycho-Analytic Congress in Budapest, which inspired her to write her first psychoanalytic paper, "The Development of a Child."
Supporting study and corroboration of the discipline has been a main focal point for Kaplan. Kaplan not only has experience but familiarity in art psychotherapy. Kaplan devotes her time to helping people through oriented art activities as well as, helping people through emotional and cognitive deficits through art. Kaplan also suggests an art based theory rather then based on psychotherapeutic which somewhat resolves the debate involving art in therapy verses art as therapy. It is in this chapter that Kaplan reveals her knowledge of and experience with art psychotherapy, but it seems to this writer that she also reveals her ambivalence regarding her professional identity.

Women in Psychology: Karen Horney Shnay Mclellan PSY/310 June 16th 2013 Gary Mayhew Women in Psychology: Karen Horney Introduction: Background and Education Born on September 16, 1885 in a small town in Germany called Blankenese, Karen Horney grew up with many questions about society and humans, as well as her own ideas that would eventually influence the world of psychology. Growing up, Horney was a private individual, listing her thoughts and ideas in diaries that would be eventually discovered by her sister and translated into English for the world to see. As a very determined and opinionated person, Horney grew up questioning society and religion, as well as other topics such as love and morality. In her diaries, Horney is aware of the fact that she controls her life, stating that “fate will have an easy time with me, I prescribe everything for it”. (1990, p. 19) Her independence shows as an early age as Horney already decides on the type of path she wanted to pursue in her diaries.

Peplau’s Interpersonal Theory Introduction Hildegard Peplau, a nursing theorist, has helped mold psychiatric nursing based on available theories at that time: psychoanalytic theory, principles of social learning, and concepts of human motivation and personality development (Blais & Hayes, 2011). Peplau was known for her therapeutic nurse-client relationship and the roles of the nurse in that therapeutic relationship. One of her main focuses was on the therapeutic use of one’s self in that nurse-client relationship which focuses on the needs, feelings, experiences, and ideas of only that patient (Videbeck, 2011). Today, this central theme of the relationship between the nurse and client remains a crucial and relevant component in psychiatric and mental health settings (Jones & Minarik, 2012). Relationship between Nursing Process and Peplau’s Model Peplau’s key concept focuses around the therapeutic nurse-client relationship which develops through overlapping and interlocking phases of orientation, working, and resolution through which the nurse-client relationship evolves throughout the patient’s healing process (Blais & Hayes, 2011).
