Freud's Theory of Personality

Freud's Theory of Personality suggests that our personality is shaped by unconscious forces and internal conflicts among three parts: the id, ego, and superego. The id is driven by basic instincts and desires for immediate pleasure. The ego mediates between these desires and reality, making rational decisions. The superego represents our moral values and societal rules. These elements often interact it can lead to internal conflicts that influence our behaviors, feelings, and choices. Freud believed understanding these components helps explain why people behave the way they do and the origins of psychological conflicts.
