Theory

Id

The nervous system translates your body's needs into motivational forces, also known as instincts or drives. Id works with the “pleasure principal”, a demand to get what it needs immediately. For example, when a baby is screaming because they are tired, they do not

know why they are screaming they just know they want a solution to the problem and they want it now.

Ego

Relates to the “reality principal”, which means the person can take care of what is needed at the

appropriate time. Ego balances the needs of Id and Super-ego making a conscience and realistic decision

Super-ego

There are two aspects of super-ego. The first is conscience and the second is ego ideal (runs

on positive models and rewards) Opinions are based on guilt, shame and pride.

Critic

Many psychoanalysts disagreed with Sigmund’s theory. One main example would be Carl Jung. Jung believed that there is a personal part of our unconscious, as well as what he called the "collective unconscious." He also introduced the term Persona (characteristics similar to the superego), and rejected Freud's distinction between ego and superego.
