Answer 1

Horney's; basic anxiety

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the best-known neurosis theories was created by psychoanalytic theorist Karen Horney. She thought that neurosis was caused by fundamental anxiety due to interpersonal relationships.

Her theory suggests overuse of methods used to deal with anxiety, causing them to assume the appearance of requirements.

As said by Horney, basic anxiety (and thus neurosis) could occur from a multitude of factors including :

• hostility,
• strange behavior,
• lack of regard for the individual requirements of the child,
• lack of true guidance,
• disappointing attitudes,
• excessive admiration or absence,
• lack of consistent comfort
