A response to "Horney theory: an object relations theory." (Douglas H. Ingram, Joyce A. Lerner, this issue, American Journal of Psychoanalysis, vol. 52, p. 37, March 1992)
Article Abstract:
Douglas H. Ingram and Joyce A. Lerner suggest that the psychoanalytic theory of Karen Horney is a type of object relations theory, although in the conclusion of their paper they draw a finer distinction between the two. The differences between the two theories are more important than the similarities. As Horney's view developed, she emphasized intrapsychic and characterological processes more than the interpersonal ones favored by object relations theory. In addition, Horneyan theory is more present-oriented and moral than object relations theory.

Horney theory: an object relations theory
Article Abstract:
The psychoanalytic theory of Karen Horney resembles object relations theory in the conception of the object world; emphasis on need satisfaction, identity issues, idealization and externalization; and lack of stress on instinct and ego. Horney's theory is distinguished from object relations theory by an emphasis on culture and character adaptations, use of direct language and constructiveness. Horney and the object relations theorists were responding to similar dissatisfactions with traditional psychoanalysis.
