One's view of self has pervasive and significant effects socially,
psychologi cally, and even biologically. Regardless of theoretical
differences, most psycho therapists agree that perception of self
in one way or another profoundly impacts emotional satisfaction,
behavioral adaptation, and rational thinking. Self-accep tance has
played a major role in almost every major theory of personality.
Despite its recognized importance over the years, only recently has
the percep tion of self received vigorous research attention as a
central variable in the development and maintenance of
psychological dysfunction and as a mediating mechanism in effecting
psychological change. Several lines of evidence point to the
importance of self-perception in emotional disorder and
psychotherapy. Feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness are
frequently cited complaints among persons seeking psychological
help. Peo ple with low self-esteem see themselves as helpless and
inferior. They feel incapable of improving their situation. They
fail to evidence the requisite inner resources or coping abilities
for tolerating the stress of their life situation. The ability to
be involved in healthy intimate relationships, to engage in
successful career performance, to experience satisfactory sexual
functioning, or to maintain effective mood management are all
subject to disruption as a result of inconsis tent and impaired
self-appraisal."
