What is self-structure?
Self-structure refers to the way in which self-knowledge is organised and will be discussed in more detail below. The accessibility of self-representations is at the centre of Brewin’s (2006) retrieval competition hypothesis. Self-concept is how we perceive our behaviors, abilities, and unique characteristics.1 For example, beliefs such as I am a good friend or I am a kind person are part of an overall self-concept. The self-concept is a central aspect of the person-centred approach to counselling. It is basically how people define themselves, for example, ‘I am caring, I am cheerful, I can sometimes be funny’. Two types of Self are commonly considered—the Self that is the ego, also called the learned, superficial Self of mind and body, egoic creation, and the Self which is sometimes called the True Self, the Observing Self, or the Witness. According to Rogers, the three core parts of self-concept are: Ideal self: your vision and ambitions of who you want to be. Real self (self-image): how you currently see and perceive yourself. Self-esteem: how much worth and value you believe you have.

The accessibility of self-representations is at the centre of Brewin’s (2006) retrieval competition hypothesis. In the psychology of self, one’s self-concept (also called self-construction, self-identity, self-perspective or self-structure) is a collection of beliefs about oneself. Generally, self-concept embodies the answer to the question Who am I?. The self-system consists of three fundamental components: the individual self, the rela- tional self, and the collective self. All selves are important and meaningful and all are associated with psychological and physical health benefits. However, the selves are not equally important and meaningful. The questionnaire evaluates five self-concept dimensions (academic, social, emotional, family, and physical) that represent different qualities that are differentially related to distinct areas of human behavior (Shavelson et al., 1976; Marsh and O’Mara, 2008).

There are five basic dimensions of the self-physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual which have been illustrated in a relational perspective in the following Figure 1.1. Those 12 concepts are Evidence, Certainty, Truth, Interpretation, Power, Justification, Explanation, Objectivity, Perspective, Culture, Values and Responsibility.

What is the ego structure?
The ego is the organized part of the personality structure that includes defensive, perceptual, intellectual-cognitive, and executive functions. Conscious awareness resides in the ego, although not all of the operations of the ego are conscious. The three ego states are called – Parent, Adult and Child ego states. These three ego states comprise individual personality. Each ego state is an entire system of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours from which we interact with one another. Understanding our ego states helps us to understand Who am I? It encompasses three structural instances, id, ego and superego. Id is entirely unconscious, while the parts of ego and superego are conscious. Freud’s model of three structural instances and their relationships constitute a paragon of psychodynamic paradigm in the conceptualization of personality. “The individual’s belief about himself or herself, including the person’s attributes and who and what the self is.” A similar definition comes from Rosenberg’s 1979 book on the topic; he says self-concept is: “…the totality of an individual’s thoughts and feelings having reference to himself as an object.”
