ABSTRACT
The second domain to which I give consideration is the introspective (psychological) domain (L-II). As stated earlier, in this domain, we access the person’s inner world, to which I will refer as the sense of self , or to the experience of being a self or being a person (see Chapter 2 ). In this domain, the focus is on the impact of self-defi cits on the systems’ preferences or the values that shape the sense of self. This is not to say that we view the person’s experiences as isolated from the impact of the presence of neuropsychological defi cits or the responses of others in that person’s context. From a dynamic systems perspective, each of those makes its own unique contribution to person’s view of themselves.
