Book review THE AMERICAN IOURNAL OF PSYCHOANALYSIS 34:355-356 (1974) DEVELOPMENTS IN HORNEY PSYCHOANALYSIS 1950-1970, edited by Jack L. Rubins. Robert E. Krieger Publishing Company, Huntington, New York, 1972, 335 pages. This work is an anthology of twenty-five papers written over the last two decades. Two of the papers were written by Dr. Horney and three of them were prepared by Dr. Rubins, a man who needs no introduction to Horney's followers. His reputation as a teacher is established, and he is recognized as one of the most active theoreticians of the American Institute for Psychoanalysis. In his introduction Dr. Rubins wastes no time in calling to the reader's attention the animosity visited upon Horney by Freudians who, over thirty years ago, refused her annotations to and variations from their fixed beliefs. He mentions that Horney's theories were not at that time, nor are they now, static ones. He does not hesitate to mention the various gaps in her theory while commenting upon the relatively super- ficial appraisals of Horney by pundits such as Monroe, Mullahy, Hall, and Lindzey. Those who have studied Homey know that her style was deceptively simple because she eschewed jargon. Her interest in communication was at variance http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The American Journal of Psychoanalysis Springer Journals
