| Personality Theory | The notion of the "self" or the "organized, consistent conceptual gestalt (whole) composed of perceptions of the characteristics of the 'I' or 'me' and the perceptions of the relationships of the 'I' or 'me' to others and to various aspects of life. |
| View of Maldaptive Behavior | The self becomes disorganzied when there is incongruence between the self and experience. |
