Freud’s Structure of Personality

PERSONALITY is COMPLEX
Three (3) Components:
EGO

ID SUPER-EGO

One’s
Personalit
y
 ID
(driven by pleasure principle)
 Present at birth
 entirely unconscious
 instinctive and primitive behaviors;
sex, aggression, impulses.
 source of all psychic energy
STATE OF TENSION
NEEDS ARE BLOCKED=
OR ANXIETY
 ID
WARNING!!!
 Immediate fulfillment is not realistic
 grabbing the things that we want
out of other people's hands to
satisfy our own cravings
 forming a mental image of the
desired object as a method to
satisfy the need
 EGO
(driven by reality principle)

 responsible for dealing with reality

 ego develops from the id

 permit the behavior but only in

the appropriate time and place
 SUPER-EGO
(driven by morality principle)
 internalized moral standards and ideals
acquire from parents and society (sense
of right & wrong)
 provides guidelines for making judgments
 emerge at around age five
 includes rules and standards for
good behavior
 SUPER-EGO
(driven by morality principle)
 Obeying rules leads to feelings of pride,
value and accomplishment
 acts to perfect and civilize our behavior
 works to suppress all unacceptable urges
of the id and struggles to make the ego
act on idealistic standards
