Potret diri

Potret diri atau swapotret adalah sebuah perwakilan dari seorang seniman yang menggambar, melukis, memfoto, atau memahat karya tersebut. Meskipun potret diri telah dibuat sejak masa-masa awal, para seniman baru giat menggambar dirinya sendiri sebagai subyek utama atau karakter menonjol dalam karya mereka pada zaman Renaisans Awal pada pertengahan abad ke-15.

Self-portrait in neurology 

 Tielsch AH, Allen PJ (2005) Listen to them draw: screening children in primary care through the use of human figure drawings. Pediatr Nurs 31(4): 320–327. This survey of literature is focused on the method of drawing people as the method of diagnostics. Children's figures can recognize mental disorders. The authors describe the use of self-portraits for diagnostics of emotional disorders in children from 6 to 12 years. Although this procedure does not make it possible to place final diagnosis, it is useful for the recognition of problems.

Psikologi persepsi diri 

 Wegner DM (2003) The mind's self-portrait. Ann N Y Acad Sci 1001: 212–225. Psychology and neuroscience approach understanding of reason and consciousness. Meanwhile, each human reason contains the self-portrait, which contains the self-appraisal of cognitive processes. This self-portrait assumes that the actions of man are governed by thoughts and, thus, the body is governed by consciousness. Self-portrait leads to the persuasion, that we consciously desire to make something. Studies show that self-portraiture is a caricature on the function of the brain, but at the same time it is the basis of the sensation of authorship and responsibility of one's own actions.
