"Understanding the Self (Second Edition) aims to promote a better understanding of one's personality, self, and identity, with the knowledge of influential forces such as gender, culture, family, and relationships. Organized in three main parts, this book specifically discusses the self from various perspectives, explores the different aspects of the self and identity, and presents the ways of managing and caring for the self. This sophisticated and comprehensive coverage is complemented by review questions, self-assessment, self-reflection, and online resources to ensure mastery of concepts and, more importantly, to foster valuable insights into the issues surrounding the self." --Backcover
