Question 20

Horney originally identified four general ways that people protect themselves against the feeling alone in a potentially hostile world. This includes affection, submissiveness, power, and withdrawal. (sense of safety and security)

Answer 20

Neurotic Trends

Question 21

People who employ this style become extremely dependent on others, compulsively seeking affection and acceptance. A person who relies on this style “needs to be liked, wanted, desired, loved; to feel accepted, welcomed, approved of, appreciated; to be needed, to be of importance to others, especially to one particular person; to be helped, protected, taken care of, guided.”
In terms of relationship, people using this style do not love; they cling. They do not give; they only take. They do not share affection; they demand it.

The slogan that best identifies this style is “If you love me, you will not hurt me”.

Answer 21

Moving toward people (helplessness)

Question 22

Some children find that aggressiveness and hostility are the best means of dealing with a poor home environment. This hostility includes need to exploit others, to take advantage of weaknesses in others, to be in control, to be powerful.
This style is characterized by Horney as externalization (similar to Freud’s projection), that is, the belief that all people are basically hostile and out to get what they can.
Relationships with neurotic people who use this style are necessarily shallow, unfulfilling, and ultimately painful. They regard love and other such emotions as silly and sentimental; they enter into relationships only when there is something to be gained.

The individual who uses this technique says “If I have power, no one can hurt me.”

Answer 22

Moving against people (hostility)

Question 23

Instead of dealing with others in a dependent or hostile manner, the child may choose to reduce anxiety by being self- sufficient and independent. The desire for privacy is very strong. Such people usually find a job requiring little interaction with others; in general, they avoid affection, love, sympathy, and friendship.
This is certainly the wrong kind of person to fall in love with- affection cannot be returned; it is not even felt. Thus, for both participants, the relationship will be shallow and unrewarding.

People using this style say “If I withdraw, nothing can hurt me.”

Answer 23

moving away from people (isolation)

As to techniques, therapists use many of the same ones employed by Freudian therapists, especially dream interpretation and free association.
