That's funny, Glen.  Karen Horney probably died before those men were born.  I'm sure you will say that you want current research not ancient wisdom.  I have no ulterior motive.  Just look up "rationalization" in the index.

 

'Rationalization may be defined as self- deception by reasoning.' ... Karen Horney, Neurosis and Human Growth

Why always with the books? Papers! I want papers! Besides, does Horney's book criticize Aronson and Mills? I suspect not. It would suck to read a whole book thinking you recommended it for that reason and realizing you recommended it for some other bizarre reason unknown to me.
