Overemphasis on “love and sex”

Overemphasis on “love and sex” Summary This character study aims to substantiate Karen Horney's assumption that man's character structure shapes his sexuality and to demonstrate how this patient, a young attractive woman, endowed with considerable intellectual and creative powers, was driven compulsively by severe neurotic forces. She was continually seeking escape from a consuming feeling of unworthiness, increasing and perpetuating it at the same time, and attempting to attenuate her disrupting inner conflicts through overemphasis on love and sex. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The American Journal of Psychoanalysis Springer Journals

She was continually seeking escape from a consuming feeling of unworthiness, increasing and perpetuating it at the same time, and attempting to attenuate her disrupting inner conflicts through overemphasis on love and sex.
