Self psychology is a modern psychoanalytic theory and clinical approach developed by Heinz Kohut from the 1960s through the 1980s. While classical Freudian psychoanalysis focused on innate biological drives and conflicts within the unconscious, self psychology focuses on the subjective experience of the "self" and the fundamental need to maintain a stable sense of self.
