Transition from Sociology of Psyche to Psychology of Society: Offering a New Division of

The dialogical self-theory knows the human's mind as an internal society that its members (the types of self) are engaged in dialogue and dominance seeking as well as an external society. This theory has divided the "self" into three types: traditional (mythical), modern, and post-modern, and then mentioned the characteristics of each according to historical epoch linked with them. Proposing revision in the cited division to become more functional and liberation from the shackle of particular historical epochs and so, offering a new division, were the main aims of this analytical study. In the present research while accepting the basic idea of the dialogical self-theory and its socio historical values, "I" or "self" is divided into five types: ancestral, parental, personal, prospective, and flexible. It seems that this new division compared to the previous classification, provides a better understanding of the human mind in all times. The main suggest of this paper is scientific testing the offered division in comparative studies and individual or group clinical trials.
