Ego and I
January 19, 2009 on 9:06 pm | In Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Psychology |When I read about psychology a million years ago, Freud talked about three parts of a person, the EGO, ID, and SuperEgo. I was pretty sure that my superego was well developed. Basically the Id was considered the primitive desires that we all have, the Super Ego was the ways we are socialized so as not to express the Id. The Ego was the balanced portion, acting in a manner that served the Id but took care not to offend the Super Ego. Since Freud, lots of other psychologists and philosophers have changed the nomenclature but most remain consistent with a three factor approach. People tend to be over controlled or under controlled or balanced. What do you think?

Nice start. Your husband invited us to visit. I agree with the control or lack thereof. I think it may have something to do with knowing the difference between right and wrong, but not really caring.

Thanks for dropping by. Or could it be people thinking they are somewhat special rather than not knowing the difference between right and wrong? LS
