It is also important to note that Becker also announces in his Preface that he now recognizes the fact that in his earlier work, he had slighted the underside of human nature. He also has come to terms with Freud and Freudian theory, meaning that he is now able to deal appreciatively with what psychoanalysis has contributed with this general theory of human nature. In this book, Becker begins his presentation of what he confidently feels is a unified and well rounded general theory of human nature. This book, a totally revised edition of Becker’s 1962 volume by the same title, represents the first of his final trilogy, what can be considered his mature theoretical work.
