4. Murray Bowen “We all have an infant inside of us, but the infant
doesn’t have to run the show.” -Murray Bowen
American psychiatrist.

adult create, and use their whole personalities, and the
individual only discovers his personality when he
becomes a creator.” Donald Woods Winnicott
TRUE SELF
FALSE SELF
False self (fake self or superficial) is
our defense against the vulnerabilities
or imperfections of our real self.

FALSE SELF
It’s formed as an adaptive, learned,
defense to the true self. Behind the false
persona, people may experience
emptiness, but most of the time, they
keep distracted from ever feeling that,
except, perhaps, when alone.
