Freud’s Concept of Personality
(Psyche)
- Ego
- Superego
- Id
Ego
- Develops after the Id
- Works on the Reality Principle
- Negotiates between the Id and the environment.
- In our conscious and unconscious minds.
- It is what everyone sees as our personality.
If you want to be with someone. Your id says just take them, but your ego does not want to end up in jail. So you ask her out and just mac it hard.
Superego
- Develops last at about the age of 5
- It is our conscience (what we think the difference is between right and wrong)
- The Ego often mediates between the superego and id.
Defense Mechanisms
- The ego has a pretty important job…and that is to protect you from threatening thoughts in our unconscious.
- One way it protects us is through defense mechanisms.
- You are usually unaware that they are even occurring.
