She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

  • To develop a cultural semiotic model to guide therapists' understanding and practice.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a historical-cultural theoretical framework.
  • Integrating constructivist, systemic, and semiotic components.
  • Elaborating on concepts of semiosis, development, temporality, and dialogicality.
  • Developing a cultural semiotic model for intervention.

Main Results:

  • A multilevel intervention approach encompassing individual, relational, and contextual dimensions.
  • A theoretical framework integrating cultural psychology, constructivism, systems theory, and semiotics.
  • A cultural semiotic model providing conceptual tools for therapists.
  • Strategies for understanding client issues and building therapeutic relationships.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed multilevel approach offers a broadened perspective for psychotherapy.
