N2  - This article raises the question of how self-talk mediates self-awareness. It is argued that the process of acquiring self-information
can be seen as a problem-solving task, and that self-talk can facilitate this process (as it does for any other problem) by promoting a
precise formulation and approach to the problem, by adequately focusing attention on the task, and through constant self-evaluations. A
complementary analysis of the possible characteristics of an effective internal dialogue in the acquisition of self-information is
undertaken. Among other things, taking others' perspective through self-talk, possessing a rich vocabulary about oneself, and paying
attention to the content of one's self-talk are believed to be important in that respect. Clinical implications raised by this analysis are also
discussed.
