  7. Karen Horney • Refuted Freud's theories of the Oedipus complex and that women suffer from penis envy. • Supported the idea that women want the same rights and opportunities that men have • Personality differences between males and females result from social roles, not unconscious urges. • She disputed Freud's contention that personality is determined by early childhood experiences.

Need to exploit others.6. Need for recognition or prestige.7. Need for personal admiration.8. Need for personal achievement.9. Need for self-sufficiency and independence.10. Need for protection and unassailability.
