Question

psychodynamic approach in psychology (contd)
behavior can be explained in terms of the inner conflicts of the mind
personality comprises three parts (i.e., tripartite): the id, ego, and superego. parts of the unconscious mind (the id and superego) are in constant conflict with the conscious part of the mind (the ego).

• the id is the primitive and instinctive component of personality. it consists of all the inherited (i.e., biological) components of personality present at birth, including the sex (life) instinct - eros (which contains the libido), and the aggressive (death) instinct - thanatos.
• the ego develops to mediate between the unrealistic id and the external real world. it is the decision - making component of personality.
• the superego incorporates societys values and morals, which are learned from ones parents and others. it has two components: the ego ideal, which sets the standards, and the conscience, which produces guilt.
