This concept was mainly developed and applied by authors with a psychoanalytic
orientation. The concept implies that each individual should in the course of his or her
development formulate a concept of self that is differentiated from the identity
of other individuals and is autonomous in
itself. Here "self" is defined as the set of all ideas and perceptions of one's
own being as they are developed in the course of individual development and are then more
or less integrated into and perceived as a functional whole (identity).*
