"There are many definitions of what the 'self is, but many people are not aware of what 'sett really means. Ruth Manvillc, social worker and family therapist, took a small group of men and women through a relaxation technique at noon Tuesday at a Women's Resource lecture, as a method to become aware of the self, accept it and understand k. "Each personality is composed of different dimensions that make up the self," Manville said referring to a self awareness model. The model she uses was developed by an Italian psychiatrist who himself followed the philosophical theories of ILsnw Review This "holistic model involves the different dimensions that up who we are. The person's self can be diagramed as an lower portion of the eye is the lower conscious The eye. possessing our unconscious feelings that never change. The higher conscious represents the artistic and finer qualities of self. Manvuie said the center of the eye is the point of awareness or the consciousness. "This is the consistency in our lives we try to maintain Our personality may change but our level of awareness often stays the same," she said. make Manvillc said this is the problem people face with awareness. "The self is composed of that -- names editor Relit Sager, a second -- year law student, was named Thursday as the 1984-8- 5 editor of the Utah Law Review, a legal journal published by the law school. "I'm very honored," Sager said. I hope to do as good a job as the board did last year. I hope we can keep on schedule and publish a quality Review. The selection process for the editor begins with the editorial board, which invites 1 1 or 1 4 people from the top 10 percent of the fjrst year class to be on the Review. Sager is ranked sixth in a class of 1 39. Those people then participate in a writing competition, and four or five people are chosen to be on the Review, based on grades and the composition, Sager said. The eight members of the board choose the members for the next year, and the board then chooses the editor, she said. Board members are chosen at the end of their first year of 'fife law school. i 300-pa- h I Kclli Sagcr, ranked sixth In her law school class of 1 19, was named Thursday. The board members are required to write two articles a year for the quarterly journal. Articles from other law students and professors are also accepted, she said. Sager's job will be to do the final edit on the journal. She said much of the selection process will be done by the board members. Rick Vanwagoner, managing editor, is in charge of operations and does technical editing, Nanci Snow, administrative editor, oversees the budget and edits third-yestudents' articles; Nancy Coomcr and Steve Clark, articles editors, read articles submitted by professors from other universities; and Gerry Lutz, Jodi Knobel and Richie Haddock, executive editors, select second year students' 1984-8- 5 Utah Law Review editor, day-to-d- ge ay ar articles. have to emerge and express themselves during our lifetime," she said. From birth through childhood, the perceptions of "self develop through experience. We begin to think about ourselves and who we are. as the environment conditions us. But we arc more than the product of what w learn, she said. Manville said people develop coping skills to deal with each dimension of the personality. These dimensions, or include the conscientious, rebellious, loving, resentful, devious and other characteristics of our personalities. It's how these coping skills are expressed that is important in and acceptance. Manville said. developing She said if people would give themselves a few minutes to think about the various ways to express the self, they would have more control. "People also need to express themselves when one of these personality dimensions arise. Holding it back will distort the other dimensions." For example, it is not uncommon for women to grow up and be told not to express anger. It would be ideal never to get angry, but who lives and ideal life? she asked. Manville said anger is to an easy emotion to accept or express, and it may get blocked off for the time being, but t be emotion will not disappear. "The energy it takes to supress the emotion can create problems such as a psychosomatic illness and supressing anger is great for causing ulcers," she said. Manville said any dimension not expressed can cause ties self-awaren- ess depression. "Every dimension of the personality was developed for a good reason at some point in life and each dimension needs our compassion for understanding," Manville said. She said if a person can engage in a relaxation process, it will help them to become aware of the feelings and emotions the self is trying to express day to day. "We should say to ourselves, 'this is who I am' and not say. 'this is what I ought to be,' based on others expectations of us," she said. "People are too critical of their behavior because we have been internalized by what our parents said we should be." Manville suggests using a relaxation technique that enables the person to look at their behaviors at a distance and become aware of these behaviors. The person should eventually learn to accept and genuinely express each dimension of the personality without regret or criticism. "This is not an easy process, and it takes a desire and strong commitment. But if a person is aware ofeach dimension and how it affects their lives, each dimension will integrate together to form a level of wholeness," Manville said.
