Theory

• Id
• The nervous system translates your body's needs
  into motivational forces, also known as instincts
  or drives. Id works with the pleasure
  principal, a demand to get what it needs
  immediately. For example, when a baby is
  screaming because they are tired, they do not
  know why they are screaming they just know they
  want a solution to the problem and they want it
  now.

• Ego
• Relates to the reality principal, which means
  the person can take care of what is needed at the
  appropriate time. Ego balances the needs of Id
  and Super-ego making a conscience and realistic
  decision

• Super-ego
• There are two aspects of super-ego. The first is
  conscience and the second is ego ideal (runs on
  positive models and rewards) Opinions are based
  on guilt, shame and pride.

Critic

• Many psychoanalysts disagreed with Sigmunds
  theory. One main example would be Carl Jung. Jung
  believed that there is a personal part of our
  unconscious, as well as what he called the
  "collective unconscious." He also introduced the
  term Persona (characteristics similar to the
  superego), and rejected Freud's distinction
  between ego and superego.
