Strange: we use it exactly in the opposite sense.

Selbstverwirklichung is a quite popular term
or rather; it USED TO BE popular in the late sixties and seventies (and
maybe still eighties)
it was closely related to the 68-movement.
has connotation of hedonism and recklessness

Selbstentfaltung was a refuge for us in Oekonux
to make a difference - 
a terminological difference that originated in critical psychology
also Anette Schlemm ues this frequently
http://www.thur.de/philo/ku51.htm
http://www.thur.de/philo/ku51b.htm

If you connect this to many other strands:
Frithjof Bergmann - doing what we really really want
Arnold Kayserling - the social fabric of the Aquarian Age

you will see that the term is in the center of contention
of a social theory of voluntary cooperation.
