NOTE ON A HORNEY HYPOTHESIS.

The article reports that the problem with which this paper is concerned is Homey's hypothesis which states that "the basis of anxiety usually lies in hostile impulses.

That Homey views her conceptual analysis of anxiety as being different from Sigmund Freud's analysis is suggested by her statement that "the frequently with which anxiety is generated by sexual impulses is largely dependent on the existing cultural attitude towards sexuality.
