Assagioli suggested that a therapist could ask a client, “Have you noticed that you behave differently in your office, at home, in social interplay, in solitude, at church, or as a member of a political party?” Assagioli proposed that each of us has different selves, based on the relationship we have with other people, surroundings, groups, etc.; that is, roles. We should not identify with any one of these selves. The goal is to become aware of the subpersonalities and immerse ourselves in each role, so that we can play consciously these various roles.
