The term "multiple selves" refers to the idea that people have different aspects of their selves, such as an ought self (who they think they should be), an actual self (who they currently are), and a collective self (how they relate to groups they belong to). It does not refer to the mental disorder of multiple personalities. Self-esteem and self-concept are separate concepts from multiple selves.
