Id
unconscious
primitive instinctual drives
only one present at birth
It is the source of a person’s bodily needs, wants, desires, and impulses, particularly their sexual and aggressive drives. The id contains the libido, which is the primary source of instinctual force that is unresponsive to the demands of reality. The id acts according to the “pleasure principle”—the psychic force that motivates the tendency to seek immediate gratification of any impulse —defined as seeking to avoid pain or unpleasure (not “displeasure”) aroused by increases in instinctual tension.
Ego
both unconscious/conscious
acts in accordance with the reality principle
seeks to please the id in a realistic fashion
mediates the id’s wants with reality
the ego is common sense
serves three masters: the external world, the id, and the superego
likened to being the rider of a horse
the ego is more aligned with the ego and allows things to slip. the superego catches this and feelings of guilt, anxiety, and inferiority take place. These feeling are overcome with defense mechanisms.
Superego
both unconscious/conscious
is a reflection of internalization of cultural rules from parents, teachers etc.
conscious and is the inner critic and also considered the father figure
superego demands may be polar opposite of the id which means the ego has to find middle ground
superego is formed from state of helplessness as a child and the Oedipus complex (gross)
