Abstract
Berzonsky (1986), in elaborating on the discovery and creation (construction) metaphors for identity formation, has not accurately represented my views on two key points: (1) the implications of the discovery metaphor regarding personal responsibility and accountability, and (2) the possibility of conducting scientific research involving metaphors for psychological processes. Our contrasting perspectives on these issues are discussed.Keywords
