Assignment Problem: Horney noted that every individual manifests needs to some degree. She listed 10 needs that she termed neurotic needs because they are irrational solutions to one's problems. The 10 neurotic needs are affection and approval, a dominant partner, power, exploitation, prestige, admiration, achievement or ambition, self-sufficiency, perfection, and narrow limits to life. She also presented these in three groups, each indicating a person's attitudes toward the self and others. She called these three categories of directional movement the neurotic trends.
1. Explain each of the 10 neurotic needs per Karen Horney, and classify them on the four ways in which an individual protects himself or herself against basic anxiety. Give an example for each to exemplify.
2. Explain what neurotic trends are? Discuss how Horney's earlier list of needs is reformulated under neurotic trends. Describe in detail the compliant personality.
