  Paul Marko's: Mindful Enedavors
Ego development, as defined by Jane Loevinger, who developed a model to illustrate human personality development, consists of the changes in mental processes put in place by the self or ego (one's self-image or sense of being) to make coherent meaning of what is happening as it experiences day-to-day life.
Loevinger's model consists of eight levels ranging from the Impulsive stage which normally occurs early in life to the Integrated stage which is reached in life only by a very few individuals.
Loevinger, herself, hesitated to perform this further delineation of stages because she contended that there were too few individuals operating at this level to study.

 Freud’s Three Theoretical Phases or Paradigms according to Loevinger
Loevinger’s own significant contribution to personality theory — her conception of ego development (1976) and her highly reliable psychometric test for stages of ego development — was firmly grounded in psychoanalytic theory (and cognitive developmentalism), and in particular draws upon Freud’s later theories on the differentiation and development of the ego.
Loevinger concedes that Freud himself probably never gave up the drive paradigm in favour of the new one, which she identifies as the ego paradigm.
Loevinger gave as an example the case of a little boy who wants to hit his brother, but is confronted by his father, who stops him.

 Resolving the Moral Impediments to Foresight Action
Loevinger’s achievement was to both hypothesise the stages of ego development and to develop an instrument that was able to reliably measure what stage of development an individual is probably operating from.
Loevinger’s work on ego development is useful in the study of foresight because what she was measuring was an individual’s self-sense and the relationship to the external world.
Thus Loevinger’s work gives a guide of what an individual’s cognitive process might be sensitive to in the external world, how that external world might be modelled and interpreted by the individual and what range of actions the individual could chose from in response to those interpretations.

 Lesson 10.2: Transcript
An important difference between Adler and Loevinger, however, was that Loevinger was an expert on test development and developed a very detailed and complex and reliable method for coding the sentence completions she elicited.
To Loevinger, the ego was the totality of the process of making sense of experience and therefore incorporated not only reality-based ego functions, but also id functions (your inner drives and needs), and superego functions (self-control and morality).
However, where Loevinger differs is that rather than focusing on the first few years of life as being critical, Loevinger felt that ego development could continue throughout life.

 Lesson 10.2
Her sentence completion test is another example of the type of semi-structured yet semi-projective test ego psychologists liked to use to assess how people consciously and actively make sense of their lives.
Notice how it is similar to Adler asking you to complete the sentence: "My earliest memory is…" An important difference between Adler and Loevinger, however, was that Loevinger was an expert on test development, and developed a very detailed and complex and reliable method for coding the sentence completions she elicited.
However, whereas Freud suggested that the stages of psychosexual development occurred at approximately the same ages for everyone and were completed by adolescence, Loevinger suggested that different people completed the stages of ego development at different ages, and few people would ever complete all of the stages.

 FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Several authors have mistakenly associated Loevinger’s use of the term “ego” with psychoanalytic uses of the term.
Loevinger constructed Form 81 so that the two halves of the test (i.e., 1st and 2nd set of 18 items) have equivalent item validities and can be used as short forms of the measure.
Loevinger and her colleagues have typically not recommended pursuing this route.

According to Cook-Greuter’s revised version of Loevinger’s model, a child comes into the world without an ego, without a differentiation of itself from the world around it.

Working with Jane and scoring thousands of protocols in ego development brought about a complete transformation in my thinking and it fit very well with my Buddhist epistemology, and my understanding of Jungian archetypes as dynamic forms.
I had such great respect for Jane, much greater than my respect for Jung at that time — she was, after all, a living person and he was pages in books — that I had a kind of identity crisis while I was in my Jungian training.

Moreover, if the Loevinger test is slightly modified to be more sensitive to those at the higher stages, 87 percent in one meditating population broke the conscientious barrier, with 36 percent scoring autonomous and 29 percent integrated.
Loevinger had to explicitly take that into account in planning the testing for her 1985 study.

A sophisticated kind of testing and measurement is required to notice and identify these structures.
Researchers such as Lawrence Kohlberg, Jean Piaget, Abe Maslow, Robert Kegan, Clare Graves, and Jane Loevinger (among others) have all devised ways to measure stage growth, though they are each measuring a unique developmental line (such as morals, values, self sense, needs, etc.).
No line of development can be reduced to any other, but getting a sense of where an individual is at on even one line can tell us an enormous amount.

Setting the developmental tradition in context, Jane Kroger begins by providing a brief overview of the theoretical approaches to adolescent identity formation currently in use.
This is followed by a discussion of five developmental models which reflect a range of attempts from the oldest to among the most recent efforts to describe this process and include the work of Erik Erikson, Peter Blos, Lawrence Kohlberg, Jane Loevinger, and Robert Kegan.
Although focussing on each theorist in turn, this volume also goes on to compare and integrate the varied theoretical models and research findings and sets out some of the practical implications for social response to adolescents.
