Ego Psychology

Ego Psychology is a branch of psychoanalysis that focuses on the role of the ego in personality development and functioning. It emphasizes how individuals manage emotions, thoughts, and social interactions. The ego helps balance the demands of the id (instincts and desires), the superego (moral standards), and reality. Ego psychologists study how people adapt to their environment, cope with stress, and develop a sense of self. This approach highlights the importance of personal growth, resilience, and the ability to navigate life's challenges, contributing to mental health and well-being.
