Not sure I understand the explanation here, why impression management is the only way people manifest sense of self in social interactions. Any thoughts? I thought back-stage self is like how you act among your in-group so potentially that would be a good time to manifest your sense of self.

I don't think it can be back stage because back stage is a side of you that you keep to yourself and not reveal to others. When you are interacting with your patients, you have to manage your impression and present yourself in certain ways or else they won't like you lol

It's pretty squishy, to me, but that's just how some of the P/S questions are I guess.
