Psyco-analysis

In this lecture we learned all about the Psyche Theory, which are the three theoretical constructs in terms of activity and interaction in mental life. these three are the Ego, Super ego and the ID. Conscious Preconscious and Unconcsious, Freaud made a diagram to explain this which consisted of an Iceberg, the point was that although you can see the top of the icebearg, there is a whole lot more beneath, only 25% of the icebearg shows on top where as there is three times the size of that below. I drew a diagram of this for myself to show you.





















Conscious - is ego which according to Freud is 'Part of the Id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external work'

Super ego - ' The super ego can be thought of as a type of conscience that punishes mis-behaviour with feelings of guilt'

ID - 'The id contains everything that is inherited that is preasent at birth... the id is unknown to us'
