The Clinic reflects Karen Horney's optimistic and humanistic philosophy that individuals have the capacity to grow and change throughout life. Along with society and culture, intimate relationships with others are the most important influences on our personal development. Difficulties in life often arise when early relationships provoke anxiety or adversity, which in turn interferes with our growth. Dr. Horney was convinced that treatment geared at understanding the self, and the subsequent outgrowth of such difficulties, would restore a person to a path of personal self-realization. This basic philosophy is the guiding principle of all Clinic services. It is the foundation from which patients gain an understanding of themselves, develop the capacity to grow and change, and enrich their lives. The staff of the Clinic conducts treatment with the underlying conviction that each person has the inherent capacity to improve one's life and become increasingly warm, spontaneous, joyful, and unafraid.
