Abstract
It is possible to establish certain polarities or oppositions for the purpose of placing theorists in relation to each other. One such opposition is between individual and social emphases in selftheories. If Freud is used as the embodiment of individual emphasis because of his concentration on the growth and persistence of certain structures of personality, it is possible to use G. H. Mead as an embodiment of social emphasis because of his essentially social definition of the self in terms of a ‘generalised other’. It is not just a convenient opposition for purposes of exposition, the opposition is actually expressed in Mead’s work.
