The Ego and the Id -- Sigmund Freud

<b>"Freud 'is destined to remain among us as the most influential of 20th-century sages'"--<i>New York Times</i></b><br> One of famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's most prominent ideas was that of the id, the ego, and the super-ego--the three main factors behind the workings of the human mind. Freud claimed these components of the human psyche controlled all processes of personality, behaviors, and traits in a person. <p/> The Id was a person's most basic and impulsive instincts--the ones that feed into our deepest desires and physical needs. The Super-Ego was the opposite of the id. This component controlled our highest morals and standards, operating through our conscience and making us desire to be our most ideal-selves. The piece in the middle is the Ego. The ego mediates between the id and realities of the world around us, while being supervised (and guilted) by the super-ego. <p/> In this new edition of his book, <i>The Ego and the Id</i>, Sigmund Freud delves deeper into the concepts of the human mind and the results of the conflicts and workings between them.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Sigmund Freud<br><b>Publisher:</b> Clydesdale<br><b>Published:</b> 05/07/2019<br><b>Pages:</b> 56<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.15lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781945186790<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Sigmund Freud</b> was an Austrian-born neurologist and the founder of the study of psychoanalysis.
