Psychological theories
In this article, we will introduce some of the major psychological theories that have shaped our understanding of human behaviour,
False-Self
Independent Self and Interdependent Self
Although Rogers wrote mainly about the real self and ideal self, the terms independent self and interdependent self come from later “self‑construal” research in cultural psychology
Authenticity
Self-Reflection

Core-Self Pruning
Self-integrity

Core-Self Pruning
Training the Ego
Welcome to Training the Ego. This is your simple guide to understanding and becoming the person you want to be – your true self. I’ve tried to make it simple, so that anyone can read and understand it, yet the concepts here are incredibly powerful. And if used correctly, can lead an individual to true self-transcendence, where they have complete mastery of self in all its guises.
Awareness Integration Theory
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is the conscious recognition and understanding of one’s own thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and their underlying patterns, often serving as the foundation for personal growth and therapeutic interventions like Awareness Integration Theory
Organismic Self
Metacognitive Integration: The key to Self-Actualisation?
Metacognitive Integration is a dynamic process of exploration, identification, connection AND reconnection of the organismic self with it’s systemwide functions. It is a process that allows the individual to actualise themselves. This optimises the integration of their organism, to allow them to better thrive in the local environment.

The Authenticity Paradox
Authenticity, I suggest, is a continuum, a spectrum of stages, that may never end, since the self is a largely unknown thing, and that exploration of self, if done with regular determination, is always going to be revealing “new stuff”.
Human Symbolic Interface
The Phenomenal Field and the Symbolic Human Interface
Rogers’ phenomenological theory complements DNA-Self Theory by providing a relational framework for reclaiming pruned natural DNA-Originated potentials, but assumes greater accessibility to innate growth drivers than childhood chronic trauma may allow ,ost people to access.
