In the fields of psychology, counseling, and therapy, ‘ego-introspection’ and
‘self-introspection’ are very important terms. However, the terms and the concept are
not unified among researchers. This paper is intended to improve this confusion in using
the terms a bit. So, In this paper, the articles in the field of psychology, counseling, and
therapy using concepts such as 'ego- introspection' and 'self- introspection' were
searched and the status of use were examined. The target of this article is to examine
five papers related to the detailed search of the terms 'self-reflection & self-reflection'.
Two dissertations and three professional journals. and only thirteen theses in psychology
and counseling field were selected among the related papers which were searched by the
search term 'self-reflection & self-reflection'. nine dissertations and four professional
journals. In this study, ‘ego', 'self', 'introspection', 'ego-introspection' and
'self-introspection' were compared. And I proposed to use them strictly classify ‘ego'
and 'ego-introspection', ‘self' and 'self-introspection' considering term such as Freud's
'ego' and Jung's 'self', traditional language customs and oriental thinking.
