Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)

Superego
Id (Pleasure-pain principle)
a reservoir of unconscious psychic energy that, according to Freud, strives to satisfy basic sexual and
aggressive drives. The id operates on the pleasure principle-pain, demanding immediate gratification.
Ego (Reality principle)
the largely conscious, "executive" part of personality that, according to Freud, mediates among the
demands of the id, superego, and reality. The ego operates on the reality principle, satisfying the id's
, desires in ways that will realistically bring pleasure rather than pain. The fulcrum in the seesaw
metaphor, balancing the id and the superego.
Superego (Ego Ideal, Conscience)
the part of personality that, according to Freud, represents internalized ideals and provides standards for
judgment (the conscience) and for future aspirations
