According to Freud, personality consists of three interacting forces
a. the Id, b. Ego and c. Superego.
It is concerned only with satisfying personal desires, regardless of the physical or social limitations that might prevent us from getting whatever we want. The
actions taken by the id are based on the pleasure principle.
Id
It uses wish fulfillment to satisfy its needs: If a baby is hungry and doesn’t see food nearby, the id imagines the food and thereby at least temporarily satisfies the need. (CHILD)
Id
The primary job is to mediate/ balanced the demands of the Id and the outer forces of reality. Possibilities of right or wrong. (OLDER SIBLING)
Ego
The moral arm of the personality. It is formed when a child reach the age of 5 and develops from the internalized patterns of reward and
punishment received from the parents.
