Freud's Structural Model of the Psyche

Freud's Structural Model describes the mind as composed of three parts that work together: the id, ego, and superego. The id is the subconscious energy driving basic instincts and desires, like hunger or aggression. The ego is the conscious part that balances these impulses with reality, making practical decisions. The superego represents internalized moral standards and ideals, guiding what is right or wrong. Together, these parts influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, often balancing each other in complex ways to help us navigate the world ethically and practically.
