Through amalgamating the history and perception of the I, Horney’s idealized image and Hegelian societal dynamics, an interface with the universal substrate of the person—that is the self—is established. In turn, allowing for effective binding of the wholehearted individual and their experience, to a realistic feedback loop between their own development and the influencing environment.
