Question
With reference to Karen Horney's theory, explain the two major components that lead to disturbed interpersonal relationships during childhood.
Solution
The two primary components of Karen Horney's hypothesis of dysfunctional interpersonal connections in childhood are the need for affection and approval and primary anxiety. Basic anxiety is a feeling of helplessness and uncertainty resulting from early experiences of rejection or abandonment because of a parent's actions toward them. This anxiety leads to the development of a need for other people's attention and acceptance, as well as a sense of isolation. Children with primary anxiety may develop ways of coping like respect, anger, or withdrawal, which may have an impact on how adults interact with one another.
