ResumoThe neo-Freudian psychoanalysts have adopted a "cultural orientation" in their study of neurosis in modern society, which suffers from a lack of systematization and from easy assumptions regarding the universality of total-cultural influences within a given culture. What emerges is a confused melange of historical developments, family influences, group activities, conflicts of values-all descriptively unsorted and unweighted. The work of Karen Horney and Erich Fromm is criticized as to sociolgical relevance and adequacy.
