Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: To the Freudians, Horney's denial of the importance of biological instincts and her reduced emphasis on sexuality and the unconscious were obvious weaknesses. Horney's personality theory has also been criticized on the grounds that it is not as completely or consistently developed as Freud's.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Horney's work had a significant impact on the personality theories developed by Erik Erikson and Abraham Maslow. Maslow used her concept of the real self and self-realization, and her notion of basic anxiety is similar to Erikson's concept of basic mistrust.
