Well with Freud's so called theories will someone be able to tell me why it is difficult for me to do work? I believe that Freud would say, because you where "pampered" as a child.
I think this model is pretty poor in describing human behaviour. It's as if parents make the child who (s)he is. Why should so much weighting be placed parents or parent figures? It should instead be the interpretation of all past experiences that make the person's internal dialogue. Also, ego suggests it's kind of an average between two extremes. This may be a decent model for Freud but not for me. Just a thought. Not a psych student.
I would not call Freud crazy, but I would say that his ideas, like those of everyone else, were influenced by his own unique experiences and challenges.
libido is not to be understood as merely "sexual drive" in the common day use of "sexual". Rather it is to be understood more like Plato's use of 'Eros'.
@headlessprofessor i thought the id (pleasure principle/primary process thinking) and ego (reality principle/secondary process thinking) are in constant battle while the superego is like an internalized rule book (LTM reserve that the ego uses to resolve the conflicts b/w id and ego)
The collective evolutionary strategy of the Jews is inextricably bound and manifested in their symbiotic and enduringly group orientated behavior as Prof Kevin MacDonald meticulously documented in his works. Jewish leaders like Ben Gurion, Theodore Herzl, Jacob Jabotinsky and many others have viewed Jews as race, whether or not they profess Judaism as their faith. Indeed all the evidence shows that being Jewish is much more than adhering to Judaism. Freud was no exception. David Duke is right.
Succinct and eloquent. Although I don't subscribe to his theories I am happy to acknowledge his contribution not just to the science of psychology but to the arts and humanities as well. Thank you.
the ego is not the true self of a person it is a social mask constructed and shaped by a persons social enviroment superego and id are like two conflicting script writers who want to determine the character role of the ego in everyday reality. our real self or soul, mind, or psyche consists of pure consciousness intellect,logic,and reason these mental attributes are our true identity the persona is greek for mask makes up the ego and the ego is a mask that covers over our true identity.
Point I've learn is that SUPEREGO goes head on with ID, but EGO is more flexible, and like you said, a healthy individual is one who can meet both the demands of ID and SUPEREGO. Is this possible in reality to achieve?

Is the sexual drive always in our unconsious? I mean, can someone expressing their libido in a way totally conscious, without the pressure of the Superego?
According to Freud, the drive is always there in the unconscious, but sometimes the conscious volutional self (the ego) permits behavior to actualize it.
@zombieee90 No, both ego and superego have elements at each of the three levels: conscious, preconscious and unconscious. Jung, on the other hand said that there is no consciousness without an ego, nor ego without consciousness. See my video on Jung for his diagram.
@manalv93 how is this graph wrong? i think it is the best description i have ever witnessed on this topic. i dont think it is wrong. i think your talking out of your asss lol :)
To be honest I really do feel like I am capable of removing all internal motives by convincing myself it isn't really me that wants, but my Id. Is it possible to "turn off" your Id? Did Freud have anything on the subject?
Yes, I think this is what Freud would call suppression (as opposed to unconscious repression). Depending upon the dynamics, I would say this is a mark of good mental health. I hope so, because that is what I do.
I'd hope so as well. But then again it's very similar to how some people redirect their motives and place blame on the devil. i.e. Rather than accept the fact THEY had an 'impure thoughts' of a woman, they say it was the devil in them or whatever. (Just to make it clear, I do not picture the whole Id/Superego as the devil and angel on my shoulders haha)
I disagree. I'd say supressing both your SUPEREGO is a sign of good mental health.
Suppressing your ID is the type of behavior that religious zealots preach and if you actually think we should try to hide our aggression and sexuality, then you are certainly not practicing what it is implied by this video that you preach: the illogicality and backwardsness of religion.
@sharpnova2 I agree, with a uncheck super ego can create destructive controlling hypocrtical lunatics i.e. radical groups such as nazis, cults, and etc. With the Id uncheck, we are simply stupid that just sleep, eat, and fuck with little to no regard for human life and will, i.e. abortions, bastard childs, and crime for financial and survival benefit.
"id" was meaned as "need to be satisfied" (sexually) - it is the basic need of every animal. Superego ("parents" - "civilization") tends to limit that need. I think that the best idea is to become aware of your "id" needs.
It might be a factor. That idea goes back at least 150 years to armchair anthropologist E.B. Tylor. Although Freud spoke about a "death instinct" I think he viewed it more as an aggressive drive to be controlled rather than a fear of death requiring some post mortem salvation.
Freud used the term for minor mental disorders (as opposed to the more serious psychoses, which he did not want to take on). The term has fallen into disfavor since DSM-III almost three decades ago.
As far as I know the last part to develop in Freud's model is the Super Ego not the Ego - as the last part of social adaptation. The Super Ego is entirely learned, and the element responsible for learning, in this topograpy of psyche, is the Ego.
My recollection was that the superego develops during the anal stage and feeds off of the death instinct energy. The development of the ego requires the neutralization of eros from the id, and occurs during a later stage. But, I do not work with this theory daily, and note that in my books on psychotherapy, the psychoanalytic chapters are usually written by somone else.
If you could provide a Std Edition reference for ego development, I would appreciate it.
I've heard that the ego emerges at the anal stage when toilet training comes to represent social control over individuals and the superego at the phallic stage as resolving oedipus/electra complex helps individual identify with same-sex parent and finally internalize that figure as a role model. is that true or is it mentioned in Freud's theory?
Perhaps you have been instructed by later generations within the psychodynamic movement. The Ego Psychology generation (1950s) and forward attempted to increase the relative importance of the ego.
Even Freud said that psychoanalysis is bullshit
