(3) The arrogant-vindictive type (pp. 197-212) = the Sadistic Warrior.

Here's how I would correlate the other five neurotic solutions that Horney discusses with the "shadow" forms of the archetypes of maturity that Moore and Gillette discuss:

(4) The self-effacing neurotic solution (pp. 214-38) = the Addicted Lover.

(5) The morbid dependency neurotic solution (pp. 239-58) = the Impotent Lover.

(6) The persistent resignation neurotic solution (pp. 281-83) = the Detached Manipulator Magician.

(7) The rebellion neurotic solution (pp. 283-85) = the Masochistic Warrior.

(8) The shallow living neurotic solution (pp. 285-90) = the Denying "Innocent" One Magician.

As I have indicated above, Horney sees all of us as working with at least three neurotic solutions. But she allows that we may be working with more than three neurotic solutions. By contrast, Moore and Gillette sees all of us as working with at least four "shadow" forms of the archetypes of maturity. But they allow that we can alternate between the two "shadow" forms associated with any one archetype of maturity, so that we can be working with five to eight "shadow" forms.
