According to Horney, children can develop feelings of security in spite of traumatic events when:
a. they are provided with a structured routine.
b. parents show warmth and affection.
c. parents treat them like adults.
d. they are provided with unrestricted freedom.
ANS: B
FEEDBACK: The major way parents weaken or prevent security is by displaying a lack of warmth and affection. Horney believed that childhood was dominated by the safety need, by which she meant the need for security and freedom from fear. She believed children could withstand much that is usually considered traumatic, such as abrupt weaning, occasional beatings, or even premature sexual experiences, as long as they feel wanted and loved and, therefore, secure.
