Karen Horney, born Karen Danielsen in 1885 and died in 1952, was a German psychoanalyst who practised in the United States during her later career. Her theories questioned traditional Freudian views, especially on sexuality and on the instinct orientation of psychoanalysis. She is credited with founding feminist psychology as a response to Freud's theory of penis envy. Like Alfred Adler, she traced differences in the psychology of men and women to society and culture rather than to biology, and she disagreed with Freud about inherent differences between them.
