Psychodynamic theory was born out of real human stories and deep curiosity. Let’s bring that back.

As a student of psychodynamics, I spend hours wading through literature – and usually find ideas that surprise me. Forgotten concepts, interesting articles, and books I cannot put down. Twice a month, I share what I read and learn behind the scenes on my newsletter. Join to get the next one in your inbox:

KAREN HORNEY WORKSHOP

If you want to ease your way into studying psychodynamic theory, I recommend to start with someone like Karen Horney. (Please, do not start with The Interpretation of Dreams.)

Behind the very unfortunate name, Horney was a psychoanalyst who developed brilliant, simple, and (in my opinion) underrated ideas that actually make sense like: The Idealized Self, Tyranny of the Should, Basic Anxiety, Neurotic Needs and Trends, and much more.

Instead of reading 2000+ pages yourself, I condensed her core concepts and fundamental principles into a 150-minute workshop.

TESTIMONIALS

  • “It was a downright pleasure to learn more about the life and work of Karen Horney as presented in this workshop. The videos are not only highly informative, they’re also fun to watch. All of the presented ideas and concepts are supported by downloadable pdf-files, so no need to take notes. It’s all right there at your fingertips in nicely proportioned bitesize bits. I highly recommend this workshop. Looking forward to more of that. Thank you, Alina!”
