Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Horney countered Freud's ideas that women were forever envious and resentful of men for possessing a penis by arguing that men envied women because of their capacity for motherhood. She uncovered in her male patients what she called womb envy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: One way in which neurotics attempt to defend themselves against the inner conflicts caused by the discrepancy between idealized and real self-images is by externalization, projecting the conflicts onto the outside world. This process may temporarily alleviate the anxiety caused by the conflict but will do nothing to reduce the gap between the idealized self-image and reality.
