Our Inner Conflicts by Karen Horney
The book delves into the complex world of psychoanalysis, exploring the internal struggles that individuals face as a result of conflicting impulses and desires. The author argues that these internal battles are rooted in the basic human need for security and affection, which, when threatened, can lead to neuroses. The work emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and the examination of one's own psychological mechanisms to overcome these conflicts. This introspective journey is presented as a pathway to personal growth, self-understanding, and ultimately, mental health.
