German psychoanalyst Karen Horney died #OTD in 1952.

Her theories questioned some traditional Freudian views. She disagreed with Freud about inherent differences in the psychology of men and women, and like Adler, she traced such differences to society and culture rather than biology.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Ho…

Her major works are: The Neurotic Personality of Our Time (1937); New Ways in Psychoanalysis (1939); Self-Analysis (1942); Our Inner Conflicts (1945).

Like a candle burnt out.
And the mountains and woods
Have their day, have their day;
But, kindly old rout
Of the fire-born moods,
You pass not away."
