To the Editor:

I should like to thank Michelle Price and Edward Clemmens for their thoughtful and appreciative reviews of my book, Karen Horney: A Psychoanalyst's Search for Self-Understanding. Both recognize that my primary objective was to do justice to Karen Horney as one of the most important psychoanalytic thinkers of the 20th century, and both seem to approve of my presentation of her ideas.

We appear to have some disagreements, however, about my presentation of Horney the person. Price observes that “in the history of psychoanalysis, violation of sexual ethics and attempts to control the discourse of analysis were not uncommon”
