Verified step by step guidance

Understand the basic components of Freud's theory of personality: the Id, Ego, and Superego.

The Id is the primitive and instinctual part of the mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories.

The Ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the Id and the Superego.

The Superego incorporates the values and morals of society which are learned from parents and others. It is the component that represents moral consciousness.

Recognize that the Superego aims to control the impulses of the Id, especially those which society forbids, such as sex and aggression, and persuades the Ego to turn to moralistic goals rather than simply realistic ones.
