Sommario/riassunto

This volume pulls together research on several aspects of the self.  One set of chapters deals with the importance of building a self based on authenticity and ""Who I really am."";  a second group deals with the ways in which we defend views of the self as positive and  powerful; a third group is concerned with multiple aspects of self regulation.  Each of the chapters is a well-written, non-technical description of an important, currently active research program.
