I wasn't sure what all this in the encyclopedia meant so I contacted a friend that is a therapist with a rape crisis center and asked her what self psychology was.

She told me that with out all the footlong words that confuse me it just means looking at all sides of things - a persons self esteme, self worth, problems, learning how to take care of one self (self nurture or as others call it self soothing when in crisis for example my taking a bath when I need to relax)

She also said that any therapy program focuses on the person and how they feel about themselves and others and how to take care of themselves so in essence all therapy is considered self psychology because the person in therapy is working on building their self esteme and learning how to take care of themselves and so on.

So by my friends who is a state licensed therapist standards yes I have and am doing self psychology because I am looking at my problems and learning about myself and that I am worth something to myself and am learning how to take care of myself when Im in crisis.
