This paper must have 10 SCIENTIFIC REFERENCES (books, jounal articles, etc.) No popular press. It can only have 1-2 internet sites as a reference. It must include one book or article that Karen Horney has written. The entire paper must be written in APA format (not footnotes) using parenthetical citations. There is a maximum of 3-4 quotes to be used throughout the paper. You must paraphase most of the time. The paper should be written using subheadings (ex:
CONTRIBUTIONS, BACKGROUND, INFLUENCES,etc.) The paper should be written as if the reader knows nothing about Karen Horney. This means defining definitions and explaining (in depth) her theories – basically spelling it out for the reader.
This is an in-depth history paper. It must have STRONG historical content. It should include:
– Horney‘s extensive backgound (how she grew up, where, her schooling, her parent’s schooling, birth and death, where and how, etc.)
– How she got into her field
– show and trace who she borrowed ideas from for her works and what they were. Did she have a mentor? Did she mentor any one else?
– state any critiques of Horney and her work. Who did they come from.
– Did she influence any psychologists after her with her work? Who and How? Did anyone build on her work
– How was her work accepted or not accepted by the public and fellow psychologists in her field? liked or disliked?
– Is any of her work in the APA or DSM journal? if so – what and when?
– Did the fact that she was a women hinder her work? How?
– Talk about the struggles of women psychologists in her time.
– Talk about her contributions and theories and explain them. Some of the these theories are basic anxiety, three neurotic trends, idealized self, neurotic pride vs self-esteem, search for glory, neurotic needs, self-contempt,her work on psycho-analysis, and anything else that she worked on.
THESE BULLETS ARE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.
The set up of the paper should be:
– The introduction which tells the reader what you are going to talk about. This needs to be where yuo catch the reader’s interst so be creative.
– The body of the paper (explained above) using subheading when switching topics
– The summary that wraps up the paper AND remind the reader what you have talked about in the paper (a reiteration of the introduction).
– The conclusion that states your opinion. For example, do you think she was under-estimated, will her work still be used, overall opinion on Horney, etc. THIS IS THE ONLY PORTION IN THE ENTIRE PAPER THAT IS TO BE IN FIRST PERSON. EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULD BE IN THIRD PERSON.
citing where you got material throughot the paper is imperative (APA style).
I need the reference page in APA format, as well.
