Psychological Perspective of The Self: Presented By: Pereyra, Dennis Batuhan, Edward Lanoy, Cerela Marie

William James first proposed the concept of the self as consisting of the "I-self" and the "Me-self." The I-self refers to one's thinking self while the Me-self encompasses one's personal experiences and sense of identity. Carl Rogers later defined the self as a flexible perception that strives for self-fulfillment. Erik Erikson proposed that identity develops through 8 psychosocial stages, with adolescence focusing on identity development. Freud argued that personality forms from the interaction of the id, ego, and superego; while Jung saw the self as the central archetype uniting one's psyche.
