What have I done you ask??



I studied psychoanalysis and created the study of feminist psychology. I disagree greatly with Sigmund Freud in his beliefs in the differences in men and women due to biology and focus on the differences based on culture and beliefs. 

As I gained a large interest in neurosis, a mental illness not caused by organic disease, I began studying it and eventually created a whole theory of neurosis. I believe neurosis is a continuous process, while many other psychologists believe neurosis to be caused by external stimuli. I believe these stimuli to be less important, and while childhood is a factor in the causes of neurosis, ultimately the parents have a large impact and can influence the person’s mental state. From my experience, I identified the ten neurotic needs of a person, the things all humans require to succeed in life. I modified these needs to correspond with my beliefs regarding the causes of neurosis. Theoretically, a neurotic person exhibits all of these needs.
