Neuroses Application

Assignment
Neuroses Application Assignment
To better understand Horney’s three types of neurotic styles — moving toward people, moving against people, moving away from people — identify three FICTIONAL people who fit these descriptions (use television, movie characters, etc.).
Write a short definition of the style (do NOT copy—should be in your own words with citation). Give examples of the person’s behavior to illustrate why they belong in the category. You can speculate about the reasons for this person’s neurotic style within Horney’s theory. Make sure to use APA style and citations. The paper should be 1-2 pages.

For example (your examples should be more detailed and discuss Horney’s theory in depth):
Lucy in the Charlie Brown series is an example of Horney’s neurotic style, Moving Against (Burger, 2019). She shows hostility by moving the football out of the way and hurting Charlie each time.

Week 3 Personality Handbook – Neo-Freudian Theory
Make sure to read the PDF in “Detailed Instructions on Assignments.”
This week’s topic is on Neo-Freudian Theory.
What is the function of our behaviors?
What characteristics should we notice about people?
How does the environment affect our personality?
How can we translate/connect this theory with Christian ideas of personality?
Be creative! These are secular theories so none of them will directly address faith principles—you must interpret them.
