Sense Of Self

Cottle (education, Boston U.) is a clinical psychologist, sociologist, and author of some 25 books. Here he explores the theme of affirmation: what really we experience as "affirmation"; the ramifications of affirmation—or its lack—in how we lead our lives; various issues of the relationship between the individual, the family, and society; theories of the self; and the detriments to the individual and society resulting from an absence of affirmation.
