I think that the real trouble with self-esteem is one of conceptualituation. 
In fact nobody knows what concept of self-esteem is using Ian, nor that 
of Phil. We must remember that self-esteem is not properly a concept,
but a conceptual aggregation because it contains many different concepts. 
That is what Wyllie showed alredy in 1974.
Perhaps this discussion is only a byproduct of the different concepts
that both of them are using. I believe that if they more accurately
present their own conceptualization of self-esteem we all may be able to
undestand better the problem. Furthermore, this should also help to
clarify the consecuences of hight self-esteem.
The conclusion about the problem of self-esteem which are in a paper
that I wrote may help in solving this controversy (I can supply a
copy at your request).

Regards.
