This document provides an overview of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytical theory of personality, which proposes that personality is composed of three parts: the id, ego, and superego. The id is the source of basic instincts and desires, the ego operates based on reality, and the superego acts based on morals and social norms. A balanced relationship between these three parts is needed for normal personality development.
Id,ego and superego (o.b ppt)
- 1. PSYCHO-ANALYTICAL THEORY OF PERSONALITY BY:- KUNAL GUPTA INDERPREET SINGH GAURAV JHA JANMEET SINGH
- 3. THOUGHT • SIGMUND FREUD gave the Psycho-Analytical Theory of personality. • According to him, “Men are strong only so long as they represent a strong idea. They become powerless when they oppose it”.
- 6. The ID • The id is the unorganized part of the personality structure that contains a human's basic, instinctual drives. • Id is the only component of personality that is present from birth. It is the source of our bodily needs, wants, desires, and impulses, particularly our sexual and aggressive drives. • Example, If the mind was solely guided by the id, individuals would find it difficult to wait patiently at a restaurant, while feeling hungry, and would most likely grab food from neighbouring tables.
- 7. The EGO • The Ego is the component of personality that is responsible for dealing with the reality. • Just as the ID is the unconscious part of human personality, Ego is the conscious and logical part. • The Ego functions in both the conscious, preconscious and unconscious mind. • The Ego operates on the Reality principle, which strives to satisfy the ID’s desires in realistic, logically and in socially appropriate ways.
- 8. The SUPEREGO • The last component of personality to develop is the Superego. • The Superego provides guidelines for making judgments. • The superego represents the norms & qualities of the individual , his family and the society and is an ethical constraint on the behavior. • It operates on the moral principles. • Able to differentiate between good and bad, what is right and wrong.
- 9. CONCLUSION • The Id, Ego and Superego are inter-related. • In order to create normal personality, there must be a proper balance in the relationship among these three forces.
