Abstract

The author takes up the issues connected with human psyche,
particularly with identity disorders with reference to mental
health. That is why, her discussion starts with defining basic
terms such as identity, consciousness, identity consciousness
and „ego/self”. The definitions of these notions appear not uniform
in the literature of the subject.
The author’s reflections are largely based on the, so-called,
microgenetic theory, which assumes that every single human behaviour
in a given moment constitutes the culmination of the
whole evolution process of evolution. Microgenesis is the next
phase of evolution on a time scale, after phylogeny and
ontogenesis.
The concept of identity is presented in five different aspects.
In the physical sense, identity is understood as continuity of
bodily existence, i.e. DNA. In legal aspect, identity, primarily,
consists in being alone. In sociology, the idea of identity of specific
social groups is developed. Whereas identity in psychological
sense has various meanings, however, the most important
issue seems the fact that possessing psychological identity
requires a relatively healthy brain; it does not exist outside human
consciousness. Explaining identity in theological aspect, the
author refers to Karol Wojtyła’s views.
