Perspectives on Self-Theory: A Comment on Loevinger and Kegan.

Barrett, Thomas C.; Harren, Vincent A.

Counseling Psychologist, v8 n2 p34-39 1979

Reviews and comments upon articles by Jane Loevinger and Robert Kegan devoted to self and ego. A spiral-process model of self-conception is offered as an elaboration of the processes that might be involved in equilibration. The clarifying purpose of theory should not be forgotten. A phenomenological perspective is presented. (Author/BEF)
