FEEDBACK: Horney's image of human nature is considerably more optimistic than Freud's. Each of us has the innate potential for self-realization, and this is our ultimate and necessary goal in life. Our intrinsic abilities and potential will blossom as inevitably and naturally as an acorn grows into an oak tree.
