This addition consists of Karen Horney's lecture notes for the course Psychoanalytic Techniques, which she offered at the American Institute for Psychoanalysis in New York City. Horney gave the lectures in succeeding years from 1950-1952.
Folder titles are transcribed from the labels Horney wrote on the front of the original folders. Illegible words and undeciphered abbreviations are indicated by an underlined blank space. The folders are arranged by year and then by the Roman numerals Horney assigned. Folders without Roman numerals are organized at the end of the year. Undated folders are arranged at the end of the accession. Those with Roman numerals are arranged first followed by those without. Some notes may have been used for more than one lecture.
