Introduction • The real self and the ideal self are terms used to describe personality domains in the psychology. • The degree to which the two selves are congruent एकरुप, is equal to the degree of peace of mind. • Carl Rogers believed that for a person to achieve self-actualization they must be in a state of congruence.
