...We assume that the well-dressed individual is a well-integrated individual...
...This does not necessarily follow...
...We assume that when we see the person fully attired in whatever style or manner he chooses...
...that we are seeing the real person...
...Though by degrees the perpetuation and glorification of the personality has become habitual...
..until today it is very rare indeed to find the individual...
...who is capable of clearly distinguishing between...
...the person and its manifesting instrument...
...It is also well to bear in mind that the personality , because it is a defense organism...
...does not represent the total nature of the individual...
...It represents only such parts of his nature as have been awakened by reminiscence and have been...
...brought forward because of need...
...Thus , in most cases , the personality probably does not represent more...
...than a fractional part of the individuality behind it...
...It only represents such parts of the individuality as are immediately useful on a protective level...
