One of the first women to qualify as a medical doctor in Germany, Karen Horney took a deep interest in the causes of conflict in personal relationships. This, in turn, led her to becoming the first female to qualify and practice in the fields of psychoanalysis and psychiatry. Karen presented original and advanced theories regarding neurosis and her contributions to the psychology of women are invaluable. Sadly, her own mental health suffered, but despite this, she achieved great success in her career. Her findings have had a profound effect on how psychoanalytic therapy is approached today.
