conceptualized that the self has three components reflective of three types of human needs: mirroring, idealization, and twinship. These concepts have found strong support and use in the clinical literature, and hence an instrument that can measure these needs objectively would be extremely useful. This paper presents a series of studies with the purpose of developing such a Self Psychology Questionnaire. Beginning with 75 original items, a final three-scale, 24-item instrument was developed with good internal consistency, split-half reliability, and concurrent validity. The final three scales were labelled Need for Nurturance (a mirroring concept), Need for Guidance (an idealization concept), and Social Isolation (a twinship concept).
