1. 1. ID :
According to Freud the id is unconscious by definition:
"the dark, inaccessible part of our
personality, what little we know of it we have learned from our study of the Dream
work and of the construction of neurotic symptoms, and most of that is of a
negative character and can be described only as a contrast to the ego. We
approach the id with analogies: we call it a chaos, a cauldron full of seething excitation. ... It is filled with energy reaching it from the instincts, but
it has no organization, produces no collective will, but only a striving to
bring about the satisfaction of the instinctual needs subject to the observance
of the pleasure principle.”
2. EGO:
The ego is the organized
part of the personality structure that includes defensive, perceptual,
intellectual-cognitive, and executive functions. Conscious awareness resides in
the ego, although not all of the operations of the ego are conscious.
Originally, Freud used the word ego to mean a sense of self, but later revised
it to mean a set of psychic functions such as judgment, tolerance, reality
testing, control, planning, and defense, synthesis of information, intellectual
functioning, and memory. The ego separates out what is real. It helps us to
organize our thoughts and make sense of them and the world around us.
3. SUPER EGO:
The super-ego aims for perfection. It forms the organized part of the
personality structure, mainly but not entirely unconscious, that includes the
individual's, spiritual goals, and the psychic agency (commonly called
"conscience") that criticizes and prohibits his or her drives,
fantasies, feelings, and actions. "The Super-ego can be thought of as a
type of conscience that punishes misbehavior with feelings of guilt. For
example, for having extra-marital affairs.
