Answer: It was criticized by Karen Horney primarily for ignoring cultural and environmental influences on personality development.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sigmund Freud is considered the father of psychology, the development of the methodological current of psychoanalysis. He considered that, because of their anatomy, men and women developed their personality differently.

Karen Horney was a German psychologist who also worked under the current psychoanalysis, she criticized Freud's theories because they were limited to what was observed in a small group of people; he worked only with people of a certain social status in his city and never took into account cultural differences in developing his theories.
