Self-Realization: Neurosis and Human Growth

In the book "Realizing Yourself: Neurosis and Human Growth", Horney pointed out that the process of neurosis is a special form of human growth and is a process that is opposite to healthy growth. She comprehensively explains the different periods and manifestations of this special condition, describing pathological pride, pathological inferiority, pathological demands, pathological dependence, and neurotic disorders in interpersonal relationships and work. What is even more valuable is that the author proposes effective methods to solve these specific neurotic problems at the end of the book. Throughout the book, the author uses profound insights to try to explain the great potential that humans have in striving to realize their potential. "Realizing Yourself: Neurosis and Human Growth" is a refreshing classic and one of the most important representative works of the psychoanalytic school. It not only has strict theoretical support, but also has methods to solve common problems in the process of human development. It also has great inspiration for ordinary people's self-repair and self-growth.
