The Model of the Mind

Id-(instincts); strives for pleasure at all costs so is unrealistic

Ego-develops out of the id; mediator (bodily needs and demands of reality); represents reality

Superego-formed by identification with parents and internalization of parental standards of morality, rightness and goodness; the moral side of the personality; strives for perfection so it is as unrealistic as the id
