Abstract
This article focuses on how women portray themselves in a psychiatric interview. We will see that patients display a sense of self that is fragmented and multiple. Often these different aspects of self are contradictory (such as, ‘the good wife’ and ‘the one who betrays’). We will argue that, in order to have a sense of self, a sense of who they are, these women frequently refer to an ‘ideal me’ or an ‘ideal other’, where identity seems to emerge in a rather fixed representation, though layered in many contradictions.
