Knowing the Self
9:4:37 2023-07-27 579

A person constantly tries to get to know himself and define his features, and this is urgently during adolescence and continues for the rest of his life depending on what happens to him and his environment in terms of changing the individual’s idea of himself that is characterized by uniqueness, but is subject to modification by the influence of the environmental and social conditions that surround him, and the view of others about him. The individual may see himself in a positive way sometimes, and in another negative way, but in general he has a semi-constant perception of himself. The cultural environment of the individual, with the outcome of his life experiences, has a great impact on building his personality, or in other words his identity. From an early age, the child begins to form his identity, imitating the important people in the environment around him. At the same time, he resembles his mother and father, or one of his brothers, or his teacher, but this confusion produces a ramified personality with different roles, disjointed. Therefore, you see him playing opposite roles, for example, at the same time he is independent and dependent on others; bold and cowardly; defiant and submissive; Serious and indifferent, he must finally rid himself of playing this double role and being a copy of others, or oscillating between roles in order to begin to form his own identity bypassing this transitional stage. This will only come after he acquires more life experiences and is exposed to the cultural, moral and religious concepts of his society. And in the event that everything goes well, he exits from this transitional stage to the stage of completing the construction of his own identity.

 

Self-realization "actualization Self" (McDermott 2005) The individual's self is the product of the experiences he goes through, and the individual's self-evaluation is gradually generated from a young age with the desire to achieve the ideal self that he dreams of. A person often seeks to achieve a realistic self that is compatible with his capabilities, experiences, and degree of adaptation to his environment, rather than seeking to achieve an ideal, unrealistic self. Exploiting latent self-possibilities helps to develop the true self into that realism that achieves peace and harmony for a person with himself and his environment. "Abraham Maslow," the American psychologist, says in this context that a person is born motivated to achieve basic needs in a hierarchical form that began with physiological needs such as hunger and thirst, passing through the needs of security and safety, then the needs of belonging and acceptance from the group, leading to the needs of consideration and self-respect at the top of the pyramid. After fulfilling all these needs, a person strives to achieve himself in order to reach the highest levels of self-sufficiency and peace with himself. Maslow goes on to describe those who have achieved themselves as realistic, accepting of themselves and others, spontaneous, focused on their goals to solve their problems, independent, democratic, and enjoying the spirit of creation and creativity. . The studies carried out by "Carl Rogers" in the field of psychoanalysis helped him to come up with his theory and method of treatment centered around the client, which mainly aims to help the client to achieve his self. It corresponds to this self, and a person may need another human being who shows full understanding and sympathy in order to help him develop these latent capabilities and their independence in order to achieve himself. Therefore, the therapist, with this therapeutic method, helps the client to explore and exploit his self-knowledge potential in an atmosphere of "total unconditional acceptance" of the client, "understanding and sympathy" without criticism and with complete satisfaction, in pursuit of individuality and self-formation. Basic assumptions of Carl Rogers theory:

1- Every human being has the full right to be different in opinion, concepts, and behavior.

2- To act as dictated by his beliefs and principles, that is, his behavior and behavior should be consistent with his ideas.

3- This freedom of action must comply with general laws, and not affect the rights and freedoms of others.

4- Since he is free to choose the pattern of his behavior, he is responsible for the consequences of that behavior.
