Explanation
Answer: D - Karen Horney is considered the first feminist psychologist and believed that personality develops in the context of social relationships.
Horney emphasized the importance of cultural factors in the development of personality. She thought these factors played out in social relationships, particularly between parents and children. Horney is considered a neo-Freudian, as she disagreed with Freud about differences between males and females (with regards to psychology) and rejected Freud’s notion of penis envy.
