The idealized self-image of the neurotic person leads to a problem Horney called the:
a. Jonah complex.
c. realistic self-image.
b. midlife crisis.
d. tyranny of the shoulds.
ANS: D
FEEDBACK: In attempting to realize their unattainable idealized self-image, neurotics engage in what Horney called the tyranny of the shoulds. Because they find their real self-image so undesirable, they believe they must live up to their illusory, idealized self-image, in which they see themselves in a highly positive light, for example, being virtuous, honest, generous, considerate, and courageous.
