 Sigmund Freud's Theory
Unconscious (unaware) mind into which we push,
or repress, all of our threatening urges and desires
These repressed urges, in trying to surface,
created nervous disorders.
Freud clearly states that the superego is an
agency that seeks to enforce the striving for
perfection, as it holds out to the ego ideal
standards and moralistic goals.
Conception of psychoanalysis of personality may
well be matched with the three personalities of
Ramanujam @Ambi.
