For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.5K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status01:26

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status

299
James Marcia's identity status model provides a framework for understanding how adolescents navigate identity formation through varying degrees of exploration and commitment. Marcia's model builds on Erik Erikson's theories of psychosocial development, focusing specifically on how adolescents reconcile individual aspirations with societal expectations. His model describes identity formation as a dynamic process where adolescents move between different states depending on their level...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe psychiatric condition linked to high rates of suicidal behavior.
  • Disturbed identity is central to BPD, affecting all other symptoms and treatment outcomes.
  • Impaired self-concept can hinder therapeutic interventions aimed at alleviating suffering.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the nine identity diffusion categories proposed by Jørgensen & Bøye (2022).
  • To demonstrate how identity function can be enhanced through third-wave cognitive and behavioral therapy.
  • To highlight the role of progressive correct self-identification in BPD treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Case study methodology.
  • Application of third-wave cognitive and behavioral therapy techniques.
  • Focus on progressive correct self-identification strategies.

Main Results:

  • The case study illustrates the practical application of the nine identity diffusion categories.
  • Demonstrated improvement in the level of identity function through the described therapeutic approach.
  • Positive impact on self-identification processes was observed.

Conclusions:

  • Identity diffusion is a core issue in borderline personality disorder.
  • Third-wave cognitive and behavioral therapy offers a viable approach to improving identity function in BPD.
  • Targeting progressive correct self-identification is a promising therapeutic avenue for BPD.
