For cubic equations in two variables, see cubic plane curve. Graph of a cubic function with 3 real roots (where the curve crosses the horizontal axisâwhere y = 0) (and hence no complex roots).n other words, a cubic function is defined by a polynomial of degree three. Setting Æ (x) = 0 produces a cubic equation of the form: Usually, the coefficients a, b, c, d are real numbers. However much of the theory of cubic equations for real coefficients applies to other types of coefficients (such as complex ones).
Neurosis (Boeree, 2006) is Karen Horneyâs theory about the ways in which people attempt to make life bearable for themselves. Unlike other theorists, Horney saw it as âcontinuousâ with normal life.
A neurotic person experiences emotional distress and unconscious conflict, which are manifested in various physical or mental illnesses. The definitive symptom is anxiety. Neurotic tendencies are common and may manifest themselves as acute or chronic anxiety, depression, an obsessiveâcompulsive disorder, a phobia, or a personality disorder. Horney's theory. In her final book, Neurosis and Human Growth, Karen Horney laid out a complete theory of the origin and dynamics of neurosis. In her theory, neurosis is a distorted way of looking at the world and at oneself, which is determined by compulsive needs rather than by a genuine interest in the world as it is.
