What did Horney name the self-image fashioned out of a person's interpersonal experiences?
True self
Mirror self
Social self
Ideal self
Answer
True self is the accurate, realistic perception of the self that is separate from social expectations and the external world. It is derived from the person's interpersonal experiences and is free from the influence of the idealized self and introjected images of others. In contrast to the idealized self, the true self is authentic, dynamic, and in line with the person's genuine feelings and desires.
