Her important works include "New Methods of Psychoanalysis" (1939), "Self-Analysis" (1942), "The Conflict in Our Hearts" (1945), "Neuroses and Human Growth" (also translated as "The Struggle of the Self", 1950), and "The Psychology of Women" (1967), which was compiled and published after her death.
In Self-Analysis, Dr. Horney discusses the possibilities of self-analysis and the extent to which individuals can solve their own problems by using psychoanalytic techniques.

Reader comments
This book reminded me of a friend of mine who was suffering from psychological problems. Self-Analysis provides a valuable method for understanding ourselves better and exploring our inner conflicts and contradictions. The ideas in the book are very profound and practical, especially the part about how to overcome "resistance", which inspired me deeply. I feel that everyone can benefit from this book and become their own psychoanalyst.
The story is easy to understand, with small stories and big principles.
