Self-Expression

From this we see that self-expression is not an absolute value. In terms of human development, it is valuable in only two cases: when the self expressed is the true identity, which is Essence; and when expression of the ego or superego is helpful to loosen and destroy the superego's coercive influence on the individual. (Work on the Superego, pg 16)
