Abstract :
In this article, the short story "My Little Prayer House"(Namazkhaneye kochake man) by Houshang Golshiri is analyzed using Karen Horney's theory of personality psychology. The research method is descriptive-analytical with library study, and the typology of the main character of the story is analyzed in relation to neurosis, basic anxiety, and personality type of Horney's theory. In this story, Golshiri discusses the impact of the environment on people's personalities and mental tensions. Having a polyp next to the little toe is the basic anxiety of the main character of the story (Hassan). His neuroticism is also due to the influence of his family's behavior, which emphasizes that he must hide his defect. The results of the research show: Hassan's character, fearing rejection due to his defect, has a affection personality type in response to the anxiety of his life and eventually becomes isolation. His/her love-seeking in childhood is towards perfectionist personality types who, due to their need for acceptance and affection, feelings of inferiority and inadequacy, resort to behaviors such as excessive dependence and preference for the opinions of others over their own desires. With neurosis and humiliation from others and the influence of the environment, his love for his fleshy appendage increases and in adulthood he reaches the isolationist type. Because he loves his polyp, which is called the sixth finger. And he worships it. Thus, a small defect, due to the bad influence of the environment, the behavior of those around him, and the mental stress of facing it, creates neurosis in Hassan's personality.
