Freud's structure of personality consists of three components: the Id (biological powerhouse operating on the pleasure principle seeking instant gratification), the Ego (rational mediator operating on the reality principle that balances the Id's desires with social acceptability), and the Superego (moral authority formed through socialization that judges desires as ethically right or wrong). These three elements work together to shape personality, with the Ego mediating between the Id's impulses and the Superego's moral constraints to achieve realistic goals.

Free association. Okay. Psychoanalysis.
It's a therapeutic procedure aimed at bringing repressed unconscious material into conscious awareness.
conscious and aware of the surroundings.
Conscious thoughts, feelings and actions of which we are currently aware mental activity that can become aware of only if we attend to it closely.
thoughts, feelings or desires. A massive reserver of instinctive drives and repressed ideas which we are unaware of.
For example, sexual desires or conflicts that cannot be expressed openly are pushed here. Also, mark my words when I say sigman Freud mostly sexual pleasures aggression.
Okay. So, he said that individuals either act out of impulse aggression or pleasure or sexual drives. Okay. So analysis to something deep even exist but it is existing. So find out dream analysis, free association, hypnosis.
See Freud's theory is built on the idea that our behavior is driven by forces we don't even realize we exist. Think of the mind like an iceberg, a small tip above the water. Wait unconscious to this is where your animal instincts and embarrassing or painful memories live. Freud believed that if we don't resolve these conflicts hidden in our underwater section, they show up as Freudian slips, misprononunciation or abnormal behavior.
Right. So personality personality psychologist.
Okay.
Structure of personality given by one minute.
I'm so sorry.
See Freud structure of personality.
The Eid, the ego and the super ego. Eid, ego, super ego is the elements which build up a person's personality. Okay.
The Eid, Eid is the biological powerhouse. Biological. Eid is the origin source of person's instinctual energy. The pleasure principle. It operates entirely on pleasure principle which assume that people seek pleasure and avoid pain. Normally suppose suppose me I want an ice cream. Okay.
structure of personality.
So an individual works on the combination of these three things instinct instant gratific I am a boy who wants an ice cream. Okay.
Sorry.
Okay.
I need that ice cream. I will act on that.
They truly work on the pleasure principle. Pleasure principle.
They act on the pleasure principle to like get the instant gratification.
Okay.
Ego is the rational mediator.
Super ego. Super ego. It's the it works on morality principles.
Moral branch. The super ego represents the moral side of mental functioning.
Right.
So it works on the moral principle. It is formed through the process of socialization as a child internes parental authority and societal values.
Judgmental it determines whether the gratification of a desired is gratification of a desire is ethically right or wrong.
super ego. Ego. This is super ego. This is it mediates between the pleasure principle and the morality principle.
So ice ID will say ego super ego will say it is not morally correct.
Ego is the one satisfy.
See the rational mediator is the ego.
Origin to whole. Ego grows out of the Eid as a result of individuals need to interact with the real world because real life scenario pleasure immediate gratification immoral in nature. It does not care for moral values. Society rules for well-being of other individuals.
See the life in death in reality. It works on the reality principle seeking to satisfy the Eid's need in a ways that are appropriate and socially acceptable. Right? It acts as a patient and it it acts as a patient and reasonable decision maker that directs the Eid towards realistic goals.
Right? See super ego the moral authority example before that look at this is instinct ego is the reality super ego is morality it's the reality okay is instinct is morality Okay.
Like we get to a solution or we at a structure of personality.
Right. Lastly to understanding think of personality as a corporate project.
Okay.
Creative sales team. They want the biggest flash results immediately.
Creative team. No offense to any creatives out there. They don't care about the budget, the laws, or if the staff is exhausted. Targets meet. They just want to win the pleasure of success right now.
Super ego the legal department. They are the strict observers of the rules. They don't care if the project is unsuccessful but they only care that every single move is 100% ethical and follows the company's traditional values. Legal departmental department creative the ego is the project manager. creative legal department both of them get it. See this is the person who has to actually get the work done. They listen to the sales team wild ideas that is the Eid and the legal department strict rules that is the super ego. They find a middle ground, a way to be successful, that is pleasure, right? Without breaking the law by using realistic timeline that is reality reality principle.
