Explanation / Answer

12.c

Explanation : The tyranny of should in neurotics is a term coined by Dr. Karen Horney. This implies the impossible demands made by oneself on their own selves in order to mold themselves into their ideal self. The demands are impossible to achieve. In the above example, the option 'c' I'd an example of an unreasonable demand where nothing short of perfection would be tolerated. In the rest of the options the demands are reasonable and logical unlike the option 'c'. Therefore c is the correct answer.

13.d

Explanation : Dr. Karen Horney is often considered a feminist psychologist as a staunch critic of Freud's concept especially the one stated above. She believed that masculine narcissism was the cause of such views and asserted that women are independent sexes and not broken or deficient men as Freud pictured them, who envy a complete man(penis envy). Thus she said it isn't the penis that women envy but male privileges and rights.

14.d

Explanation :Karen Horney in her late publications such as 'neurosis and human growth:The struggle towards self realisation' asserted that an individual is continously striving towards the goal of self actualization. This was one of the ideologies she shared with Maslow i. e. The goal of actualising the ideal self.

15.d

Her work never included anything about future. Therefore the correct answer is d.
