Dr. Wael #1, total #1

Today the doctor spoke a little bit about the history of psychiatry and behavioural science & talked briefly about the different disorders affecting them, but the most interesting part was the one concerning the structure of the human personality.
I found an online article that is similar to what the doctor talked about, but of course not exactly the same.

The Structure of Personality
The id is a reservoir of unconscious energy that includes the basic desires, and impulses with which all people are born.
The id seeks immediate gratification and operates on the pleasure principle, which guides people toward whatever feels good.
As significant others place more restrictions on direct expression of id impulses, the ego evolves from the id.
The ego operates according to the reality principle, making compromises between the unreasonable demands of the id , the practical constraints of the real world & the unreasonable demands of the superego
The superego develops as children internalize, parental and societal values into the personality.
a. The conscience is the part of the superego that contains the rules and the "that's a NO NO" the things people believe are wrong.
b. The ego ideal is the part of the superego containing an image of what you ideally can be and how you ideally ought to behave.
c. The superego operates on the morality principle, and violating its rules results in guilt.


He showed a diagram similar to this one:

hi kadhum ? today i didn't come and now i read ur topic but what do u mean by ID is it the same as identification , i think psychiatry will not be an easy subject as i thought before .

[Kademad]

no, I thought so too,but ID (or id) is not an abbreviation for identifaction. It's a term used in psychiatry alone.

I dunno if they are linked, but they are not the same.

And don't worry, the doctor explain the lecture in a simpler way so I don't think psychiatry will be so hard after all.

I liked psychiatry so much maybe because I like to philosophize
