- Abstract
The development of the concept of self is one of the prominent facts of 20th-century psychology; its conceptualizations are diverse. Within the field of cognitive psychology, concurrent with growing interest in comprehensive theories of personality has been the recent emergence of the self-concept. The self-concept is viewed as the cognitive structure comprised of mental representations of oneself, and responsible for their integration and processing; it appears as the cornerstone of personality. The cognitive modelling of the self-concept currently opens new directions in the approach to identity processes and their psychopathologic disturbances.
