Answer 1

Karen Horney disagreed with Freud's assumption that women suffer an Electra complex.

Step-by-step explanation:

Karen Horney, a prominent neo-Freudian, disputed Freud's assumption that women suffer an Electra complex. Freud initially embraced the Electra complex as a parallel to the Oedipus complex, but later rejected it. Horney believed that any jealousy women may have is culturally based, due to the greater privileges that men often have, and not biologically based.
