Horney,Neurotic Personality,op. cit., p. 88: “If a child is fortunate enough to have” a loving grandmother, an understanding teacher, some good friends, his experience with them may prevent him from expecting nothing but bad from everybody. But the more difficult are his experiences in the family, the more will a child be incliened to develop not only a reaction of hatred toward the parents and other children but a distrustful or spiteful attitude toward everyone.”
