trust.

trust or mistrust themselves and
other people depends on their
early experiences.

repertoire of motor and
mental abilities that are open
to children greatly expands.

of school, they gain a sense of
industry by winning recognition for
their achievements.

revolution”.
 In the process adolescents must
develop an integrated and
coherent sense of self.
Intimacy vs. Isolation
 it is the capacity to
reach out and make
contact with other people
– to fuse one’s identity
with that of others.
 . Central to intimacy is the ability to
share with and care about another person
without fear of losing oneself in the process
Generativity vs. Stagnation

Erikson means reaching
out beyond one’s own
immediate concerns to
embrace the welfare
of society and of

Karen Horney’s Biography
She was born in
Blankenese, Germany, on
September 16, 1885. She
attended medical school and
began studying psychoanalysis.
She died in New York City
on December 4, 1952.
Basic Anxiety
Karen Horney's psychoanalytic
social theory assumes that social
and cultural conditions, especially
during childhood, have a powerful
effect on later personality.
Neurotic Needs
Children deal with their hostility by repressing it.
Horney suggested that the repression may be fueled by
three different strategies:
“I have to repress my hostility because I need you”.
(aggressive type)
“I have to repress my hostility because I am afraid of
you”. (withdrawal type)
“I have to repress my hostility for fear of losing love”.
(compliance type)
Core Related Values

Respect and Love for One’s Family
As of Karen Horney’s theory, that when a child
grows with a loving guidance from his/her parents or
family, he/she will learn to cope with threats
imposed by nature and society.

Family Solidarity
If the family is characterized with solidarity, this
means that love and affection to each member of
the family is present. This kind of environment in the
family is very important to a growing child because
this will lead to a healthy personality which in turn
become manifested as the child becomes a parent
and have a family someday.

Responsible Parenthood
Through these theories, parents or future
parents has given an idea about nurturing their
children. These theories give them awareness on
how they should take care f their children. They are
now aware of what kind of nurturing or disciplining
that they should’ve done in their children.
