Louis Zinkin rightly critiques understandings of the Self as the possession of an individual, a type of “inner voice” that exists in us and for us, but reconceptualizes the Self as formed through environment and interaction. Alternatively, my conceptualization of a social Self relies on a cornerstone unique to Jungian theory: the collective unconscious. We realize the presence of a connectivity that exists innately and apriori to social interaction; we are pushed to grapple with a Self that is not only within us but also beyond us and with a reality of which we are part and must respond.
