Abstract
To begin this book, Higgins outlined a historical perspective that emphasized the manner in which previous Adlerian views of safeguarding behavior have contributed to contemporary thinking about self-handicapping. In closing, we return to this historical theme by calling upon another older vantage point to enhance our understanding of self-handicapping. This time, however, we refer not to the thoughts of Alfred Adler, but to the insights of Fritz Heider.
