Psyche and Freud's Structural Theory
In psychoanalysis, the psyche (pronounced ['saiki']) refers to the forces in an individual that influence thought, behavior and personality. The word was borrowed from ancient Greek, and referred to the concept of the self, encompassing the modern ideas of soul, self, and mind. The Greeks believed that the soul or "psyche" was responsible for behaviour.
Freud's structural theory of the psyche
The id, which represents the instinctual drives of an individual and remains largely unconscious. The ego, which is conscious and serves to integrate the drives of the id with the prohibitions of the super-ego. Freud believed this conflict to be at the heart of neurosis. The super-ego, which represents a person's conscience and their internalization of societal norms and morality.
