Definition

  • Authenticity is an ethical term that denotes being true to oneself, as in making decisions that are consistent with one's own beliefs and values. In contrast, inauthenticity is generally understood to be an abdication of one's own authority and a loss of integrity. [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Maternal Authenticity]
