1. Twentieth-century psychiatrist Harry Stack Sullivan built on the work of James and Freud with his emphasis on the impact of the interpersonal experience on the intrapsychic development. He described a "self-system" consisting of the self-images reflected from interactions with one's environment, the "good me," the "bad me," and the "not me." Sullivan stated that this self-system served three purposes: connection, self-definition, and protection. Communication and self-esteem are not purposes of Sullivan's self-system.
