The False Self - Various Authors (Narcissism 2 of 4)

Blog: http://psychreviews.org/the-false-self/

In this series on Narcissism I am going to summarize what we learned in the prior episode and expand our understanding of the ego-ideal, how it can pathologically morph into a false self, and I’ll describe what a true self is. Everyone has a healthy version of an ego-ideal to orient our goals but when it is pathological it becomes The False self.
