Ego Perception:
Problematic Paradigm
An interdisciplinary theoretical examination of ego, self, identity, defense, consciousness, and reality-contact. The work reconstructs ego as a global organizational system and develops an integrated framework for understanding how human experience is contacted, interpreted, organized, defended against, and assimilated.
About the Book
A reconstruction of the ego concept
Ego Perception: Problematic Paradigm offers an alternative perspective on Freud's structural psyche apparatus. It treats ego not as one isolated agency among three, but as the person's global organization through which psychic life is assembled, governed, and maintained.
Across historical, psychoanalytic, psychological, philosophical, and systems perspectives, the book examines the relationships among ego, self, identity, need, fear, defense, conscience, attachment, and the organization of experience.
