Another concept in psychosynthesis is "Subpersonalities" or subselves, these are ways of shifting identity from one to another throughout the course of our day and life. All of us though out life take on  playing different roles, the victim, lover, mother, employee, boss, etc.

The subpersonalitiy work is a useful way of taking control of patterned behaviour which takes place automatically, naming and recognising subpersonalities, disidentifying with them can resolve inner conflict. Once dialoguing starts with a subpersonalitiy an underlying need and higher qualities emerges allowing the behaviour to be transformed and energies to be released aiding the process to wholeness.
