Karen Horney - Neurosis and Human Growth The book attempts to describe the complete process of neurotic personality development: how and why it starts, how it affects a person's behavior and life choices. It's full of references to real-life cases Horney encountered as a psychoanalyst. Many concepts presented in this book where a revelation to me, and I believe it significantly deepened my understanding of myself and human psychology in general. I think anyone could benefit from reading this, because even if you're not neurotic at all, you will inevitably meet someone who is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurosis_and_Human_Growth
