SIGMUND FREUD'S LIFE AND
CONTRIBUTIONS TO PSYCHOLOGY
Regardless of the perception of Sigmund Freud's theories today, He had
an enormous impact on the field of psychology. His work supported the
belief that not all mental illnesses have physiological causes, and he also
recognized that cultural differences have an impact on psychology and
behavior.
His work and writings contributed to our understanding of personality,
clinical psychology, human development, and abnormal psychology.
History of
Psychoanalysis
Sigmund Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis and the psychodynamic approach to
psychology. Freud believed that the human mind was composed of three elements the id,
the ego, and the superego.
FREUD'S ID, EGO, According to Sigmund Freud, the
AND SUPEREGO
human personality is complex and has
more than a single component. In his
famous psychoanalytic theory, Freud
states that personality is composed of
three elements known as the id, the
ego, and the superego.
These elements work together to
create complex human behaviors. Each
component adds its own unique
contribution to personality and the
three interact in ways that have a
powerful influence on an individual.
THE ID
According to Freud, the id is the source of all
psychic energy, making it the primary component
of personality.
The id is the only component of personality that is
present from birth.
This aspect of personality is entirely unconscious
and includes instinctive and primitive behaviors.
INSTINCTS
The id is driven by the pleasure principle, which
strives for immediate gratification of all desires,
wants, and needs for example, an increase in
hunger or thirst should produce an immediate
attempt to eat or drink.
It is the development of the ego and the superego
that allows people to control the id's basic
instincts and act in ways that are both realistic
and socially acceptable.
THE ID
THE EGO
According to Freud, the ego develops from the id
and ensures that the impulses of the id can be
expressed in a manner acceptable in the real
world.
The ego functions in the conscious, preconscious,
and unconscious mind.
The ego is the component of personality that is
REALITY responsible for dealing with reality.
The ego operates based on the reality principle,
which strives to satisfy the id's desires in realistic
and socially appropriate ways. In many cases, the
id's impulses can be satisfied through a process of
delayed Satisfaction the ego will eventually allow
the behavior but only in the appropriate time and
place.
Imagine that you are stuck in a long meeting at
work. You find yourself growing increasingly
hungry as the meeting drags on. While the id
might compel you to jump up from your seat and
rush to the break room for a snack, the ego guides
THE EGO you to sit quietly and wait for the meeting to end.
THE SUPEREGO
The last component of personality to develop is
the superego.
According to Freud, the superego begins to
emerge at around age five.
The superego holds the internalized moral
standards and ideals that we acquire from our
parents and society.
The superego provides guidelines for making
MORALITY
judgments.
The superego has two parts
-The Conscience includes information about things
that are viewed as bad by parents and society.
These behaviors are often forbidden and lead to
bad consequences, punishments, or feelings of
guilt and remorse.
-The Ego ideal includes the rules and standards
for behaviors that the ego aspires to.
The superego tries to perfect and civilize our
behavior. It works to suppress all unacceptable
urges of the id and struggles to make the ego act
upon idealistic standards rather that upon
realistic principles. The superego is present in the
THE SUPEREGO conscious, preconscious, and unconscious.
THE INTERACTION OF THE ID, EGO,
AND SUPEREGO
When talking about the id, the ego, and the superego, it is important to remember that these
are not three separate entities with clearly defined boundaries to influence an individual's
overall personality and behavior.
