    Physical and Sexual Self

    Uploaded by

    John Paul Vincent Hidalgo
    The physical self impacts how people see themselves and interact with others. Various schools of psychology have examined the role of the body in self-concept and personality development. The physical self is a tangible aspect that can be directly observed and influences how individuals view themselves and how others perceive them. During development, the body and its changing capabilities play an important role in building competence and determining what roles one takes on. Regardless of culture, the interpretation of one's physical self guides how they act in their community.

    PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL SELF

    Unpacking the Self


    Unpack- to deconstruct, to analyze the nature of… by examining in
    detail

    THE PHYSICAL SELF: The self as impacted by the body

    It is a tangible aspect of the person that can be directly observed and


    examined. People nowadays are too conscious on how they look. How they
    see themselves in the mirror, how people will look at them and what will
    people say about them. Our concept of our self and the perception of people
    around us will always have big effect on how we deal in a situation, cultural
    or not. This discussion of Physical Self has found place on different Schools
    of Psychology, like psychoanalysis, behaviorism, humanism etc. For
    example:
    • William James considered body as initial source of sensation and necessary for
    the origin and maintenance of personality. It is an element of spiritual hygiene
    of supreme significance. For example, a boxer during a fight, do not
    notice/feels his wounds until the intensity of fight has subside.
    • Sigmund Freud, In Psychoanalytical school, construction of self and personality
    makes the physical body the core of human experience.
    • Wilhelm Reichargued that mind and body are one; all Psychological processes,
    he postulated, are a part of physical processes, and vice versa.
    • According to Erik Erikson, the role of bodily organs is especially important in
    early developmental stages of a person’s life. Later in life, the development of
    physical as well as intellectual skills help determine whether the individual will
    achieve a sense of competence and ability to choose demanding roles in a
    complex society. For example, a child gets their confidence when they bigger,
    stronger, faster and more capable of learning complex skills.
    • Carl Jung, argued that the physical body and the external world can be known
    only as psychological experiences.
    • B.F. Skinner, says that the role of the body is of primary importance.

    Which from this different orientation clearly show us and explains how people deals with
    their physical self. Regardless of what culture or traditions he or she may be, his or her
    interpretation of himself will be how people act in the community.

    and estrogen in females). After this time,
    reproductive capability continues until old age in
    males and menopause in females.
