The American Journal of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 5 i, No. 3, 1991 DISCUSSION OF "THE GOALS OF ANALYTIC THERAPY": SOME THOUGHTS ON KAREN HORNEY'S CONTRIBUTIONS Elissa P. Benedek It is hard to believe that 50 years have gone by since Karen Homey, M.D., founded the American Institute for Psychoanalysis and the Associa- tion for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis. Her contributions to the field of psychoanalysis and psychiatry in general have survived the test of time, forming a link between the old school of psychoanalytic thought and the move toward a biopsychosocial approach to the treatment of psychiatric patients. Those who knew Karen Homey best found it difficult to account for her eagerness, creativity, indomitable spirit, originality, self-reliance, and strength in advancing her ideas in the face of professional opposition. Her daughter, Marianne Eckardt, stated, "She was not one to worry about whether her thoughts would be right. She first thought her thoughts. She was always questioning and working and debating and discussing. And that went on throughout her life. She knew the inner satis- faction of thinking and debating. She was a beautiful lecturer. She always had notes, but she never read her lectures, and they always made a circle.
