Sigmund Freud was a prominent Austrian neurologist, who is known as the

founder of psychoanalysis. Current models of psychoanalysis may use different

theories and techniques, but they all use Freud’s method of change by having
patients talk about their difficulties.

From Freud’s psychoanalytic theory to his study of dreams, his work has made a
strong impact on Western thought. It has influenced modern psychology and
neurology, as well as philosophy, literature, feminism and other areas.

Introduction :-

Psychoanalytic theory separates the human psyche into three forces: id, ego and
super ego.

 Id: The id is responsible for primitive drives and urges. Operating on the

pleasure principle, the id avoids tension and seeks pleasure. It is also referred
to as the unconscious mind.
 Ego: Ego is the conscious mind. It operates on the reality principle. The
ego develops from the id because there are limitations if the id operates in the
real world. The ego is composed of perceptions, thoughts, memories and
feelings. It provides a person with a sense of identity and continuity. As an
internal drive and conscious, the ego is the executive aspect of personality.
 Super Ego: Super ego is the moral and ethical dimension of the human
psychic structure. It controls the basic desires of the id. The super ego can
interrupt the social system and influences the ego. It also helps individuals
strive for perfection and pursue goals that match the morality parameters set
by society and culture.
