Based on this last statement (if i were gary's therapyst) i would tell
him that if he needs help in sorting out which of the psychological values
he should work on the most at this point in time in his life it is this one,
that is, it is self-acceptance. I would guess that for right now his relative degree
of self-awareness and self-assertion are high enough to meet HIS growth needs
and are probably in ok balance to the rest of his psychological needs.
But his degree of self-acceptance is inadequate to the task of insuring his continued growth and development.
Like i said, i would IF i was gary's therapyst, but I am not.
