Thanks for the reply. Thinking of using Erikson....

[Guest]

That is what I would suggest, any humanistic approach,

 

Was it Erikson, that did self-identity and ideal self and the gap in between (self worth and all that)???!!

 

Any good pshycology book would probably be helpful! (more than me!!)
