    WILLIAM JAMES
    "FATHER OF AMERICAN

    "In order to to achieve wholeness and become
    a well-integrated individual, one must start
    with the basics of understanding the self."
    WILLIAM JAMES

    -is thinking, acting and feeling self

    experiences and further divided into sub-
    categories:

    DAVID LESTER
    MULTIPLE VS. UNIFIED SELVES
    Multiple self- based on an individual's mutliple
    manifestations of the self.

    Unified Self- is an image of a healthy, well-


    balanced, and effective coping mechanism can
    help a person strive in their environment and
    propel themselves to learn, gain better
    perspective, and grow as a person.
    DONALD WINNICOTT
    TRUE VS. FALSE SELF
    True self- a sense of self based on
    authentic experience, and the feeling of
    being truly present and alive.

    False Self- its function is to hide and protect


    the true self. People tend to display a false
    self to impress others
    CARL ROGERS
    THEORY OF SELF
    He believed in the inherent goodness
    of people
    Emphasized the importance of free will
    and psychological growth
    Human beings are always striving for
    self- fulfillment or self-actualization
    When the needs of the self are
    denied, severe anxiety may result
    CARL ROGERS
    SELF-CONCEPT
    refers to the image of oneself
    defined the self as a flexible and
    changing perception of personal identity
    self develops from interactions with
    significant people and self-
    awareness
    CARL ROGERS
    SELF-CONCEPT
    TRUE SELF- this aspect is visible to others
    regardless of how others see an
    individual.

    IDEAL SELF- this aspect are concepts and


    ideas that may not reflect who a person is
    but who the person aspires to be.
    SIGMUND FREUD

    MIND

    impulsive, child-like and cannot delay
    gratification.
    2. EGO- "I", works on the reality
    principle, controls teh id and can
    delay pleasure
    ALBERT BANDURA
    FOUR AGENT PERSPECTIVES

    with purpose.

    2. Forethought- allows us to anticipate


    outcomes.
    3. Self-reactiveness- we can be motivated
    to
    regulate our actions.
    4. Self-reflectiveness- we can reflect our
    thoughts and behaviors and make
