Karen Horney, developing the structure of personality, was based on the needs described in the previous post. Based on these needs, you can build a relationship between the individual lines to other people. It's worth noting that all the requirements put one, global aim. Achieving security. Similarly, the corresponding orientation, personality type is allocated. Read more about them - see below.
Orientation of people: the compliant type. This orientation is typical for people dependent, indecisive, helpless. Irrational beliefs of such people is to install "if I agree, I will not be at risk."
Compliant personality type is extremely important to feel that people need it, like, supervise, protect. Such a personality type characterized by making new acquaintances, for the avoidance of loneliness, but traced a latent tendency to aggression, anger, rage.
Orientation of the people: the isolated type. Personality traits with this orientation - the position of "I do not care." Irrational belief itself - "none of my business, I know nothing."
For such a person characterized by the installation of abstinence from passions. As a result of detachment - the person loses interest in society, and becomes accustomed to imaginary pleasures. Obvious manifestations are: privacy, the desire for independence and self-sufficiency.
Orientation against the people: a hostile type. Orientation against the people - a specific type of behavior for which the natural dominance and exploitation of everyone and everything in their environment. The reason for this behavior can be a real or perceived power that serves the foundation motto "I have the power, and no one can harm me."
Hostile type is of the opinion that all the others are aggressive and life - a struggle against all. Therefore, any situation or relationship with the position it considers: "What shall I have by this?", No matter what it is about - money, prestige, contacts and ideas. Horney noted that a hostile type able to act tactfully and friendly, but his behavior as a result is always aimed at gaining control and power over others. Everything is aimed at increasing his own prestige, status, or personal ambitions. Thus, this strategy is expressed in the need to exploit others, to receive public recognition and admiration.

Description of the structure of personality is useful for self-improvement, at least in that allows you to find your own shortcomings and correct them in time to begin. Investigation of the structure of the person from the position of the different psychologists gives more understanding of human nature and a greater choice of methods for self-construction. Analyzing themselves on any of the proposed models, we are free to choose its own structure and, accordingly, the methods for self-improvement.
