Freud and Horney: A Study of Psychoanalytic Models via the Analysis of a Controversy
نویسنده
چکیده
Although controversies about psychoanalytic theory differ in important respects from the intrapsychic conflicts that are its subject, there are close links between the two types of "conflict," as well as some significant similarities. The unconscious conflicts of individual theorists and the latent psychological content of their theories may be the subject of applied analysis, and in some cases, of clinical analysis as well (Abend, 1979; Arlow, 1981). However, the conflicts between theoreticians promote the development of theories and are useful for exploring that development and the properties of the theories.
