	Ego, superego, and id - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The superego stands in opposition to the desires of the id. norms and morals a child absorbs from parents and the surrounding environment at a young age.
		Ego psychology is often confused with self psychology, which emphasizes the strength and cohesion of a person's sense of self.
		In ego psychology, emphasis is placed on understanding the functioning of the ego and its conflictual relations to the id, superego, and reality, rather than on the subjective sense of self.

	Structure of Mind: Freud's Id, Ego, & Superego
		However, the Ego has a difficult time dealing with the competing demands of the Superego and the Id. According to the psychoanalytic view, this psychological conflict is an intrinsic and pervasive part of human experience.
		The conflict between the Id and Superego, negotiated by the Ego, is one of the fundamental psychological battles all people face.
		Note that the Ego and Superego play roles in each of the three levels of consciousness, but the Id is entirely played out in the Unconscious.

	Ego, Superego and Id - Wikipedia
		The general claim that the mind is not a monolithic or homogeneous thing continues to have an enormous influence on people outside of psychology.
		The Superego stands in opposition to the desires of the Id. The Superego is itself part of the unconscious mind; it is the internalization of the world view and norms and mores a child absorbs from parents and peers.
		Interestingly, Carl Jung saw the Ego (which Freud wrote about in the literal German as "the I," that is, an one's conscious experience of the stuff one is) as a complex.

	Is the structural model still useful? by Charles Brenner
		The id, he posited, functions according to the primary process, takes no account of external reality and is non-verbal, while the ego functions according to the secondary process and is as tied to external reality as the id is to the drives.
		Freud (1926) also asserted that one structure, the id, is tied to the drives and ignores external reality, while another, the ego, is tied to external reality and frequently opposes the drives by means of defenses, of which repression is one.

	The Mind as Conflict and Compromise Formation
		The ego is conceived of as being logical, consistent, and coherent, all in contrast to the id, which is conceived of as its opposite in these respects.
		The ego is supposed to become stronger as well as more mature, conflict is supposed to disappear, and the ego to deal with the id wishes that were involved in conflict by judgmental repudiation rather than by using one or another defense mechanism.
		As for the ego's integrative function, a regard for logic and coherence is not, in fact, an innate characteristic of the mind, as the structural theory assumes it to be.

	Freud
		The ego’s primary job is to act on the impulses of the id. It hears the id complaining that the individual is hungry and goes out to kill a deer, cook it and eat it to satisfy that need.
		As far as the id and ego are concerned it would be perfectly acceptable to go out and cook the neighbor’s cat for food, or sleep naked in the subway if that happened to be where the body got tired.
		The ego must find a way to deal with the conflicting confines of reality described by the superego and primitive desires thrust upon it by the id. It does this by using defense mechanisms such as identification, displacement and projecting which all, according to Freud, have their basis in repression.

	Division of Mind
		The id, the ego and the superego function in different levels of consciousness: indeed, Freud's theory of the mind hinges upon the ability of impulses or memories to "float" from one level to another.
		While the ego is still in the service of the id, it borrows some of its psychic energy in an effort to control the urge until it is feasibly satisfied.
		While the ego may temporarily repress certain urges of the id in fear of punishment, eventually these external sources of punishment are internalized, and the child will not steal the chocolate, even unwatched, because he has taken punishment, right, and wrong into himself.

		The Superego is the moral part of us and develops due to the moral and ethical restraints placed on us by our caregivers.
		In a healthy person, according to Freud, the ego is the strongest so that it can satisfy the needs of the id, not upset the superego, and still take into consideration the reality of every situation.
		If the superego becomes to strong, the person would be driven by rigid morals, would be judgmental and unbending in his or her interactions with the world.

		Ego, Superego and Id In his theory of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud sought to explain how the unconscious mind operates by proposing that it has a particular structure.
		The Superego ("Über-ich" in the original German, roughly "super-I" in English) represented our conscience and counteracted the Id with a primitive and unconscious sense of morality.
		As the conscience, it is a primitive or child based knowledge of right and wrong, it maintains the taboos specific to a child's internalization of parental culture.

		The superego consists of the parental and societal values—rules about what is good and what is right—that were internalized during childhood.
		While the ego can learn and adapt to changing circumstances, both the superego and the id are for the most part unconscious and extremely difficult to change.
		And this leads to perpetual conflicts between the id, the ego, and the superego.

		The Id The Id (Latin, "it" in English, "Es" in the original German) represented primary process thinking -- our most primitive need gratification type thoughts.
		The Superego ("Über-ich" in the original German) represented our conscience and counteracted the Id with moral and ethical thoughts.

		Due to the sanctioning of the superego, libidinal energy is expended to inhibit the association between a need and thoughts of an object or event to satisfy it.
		The id, operating at the unconscious level, is governed by the pleasure principle and is unaware of the realities of the physical world.
		The ego, which derives its power from the id and cannot exist independently of it, coordinates the needs of id and the physical world.

		The id is the most primitive motivational force and is connected with such physical urges as eating, drinking, and sex; it is associated with the "pleasure principle" and seeks immediate gratification.
		The ego is a sort of go-between in a person's relations with reality, and is associated with the "reality principle." The superego, our conscience or "inner policeman," tells us the demands of society and culture, and excels at using guilt and self-reproach to enforce the rules.
		If one is to become a "well-integrated" person, the id, ego, and superego must interact with one another, and the ego should balance the desires of the id and the requirements of the superego, so that we are not merely a collection of disconnected needs and demands.

		(HCAL 130-1) Gray symbolizes the actions of the superego in the last stanza, "Not all that tempts your wand’ring eyes And heedless hearts is lawful prize, Nor all that glisters, gold." This functions as a warning to the reader, the moral of the story, and is a direct function of the superego.
