If the publication of Neurotic Personality of Our Time (1937) marked the birth of Horney's psychoanalytic system, then the subsequent publications of Self-Analysis (1942) and Our Inner Conflicts (1945) further enriched and refined her ideas. Self-Analysis is a method designed by Horney to treat mild neuroses, based on her own experiences as well as those of her colleagues and patients. It combines the applicable parts of the analyst and patient roles in professional psychoanalytic therapy and entrusts them to the patient alone, who operates independently. Therefore, it is an attempt to "have the patient bear the role of both analyst and patient."
In today's competitive world, people inevitably encounter various pressures when adapting to their environment, interacting with others, and facing themselves. If not handled properly, these pressures can easily lead to mental disorders. In this regard, especially when professional psychoanalysis is at least temporarily not accessible to everyone in need of it, Self-Analysis stands as one of the best choices.
