Sigmund
Freud developed a theory of personality called Psychoanalysis.
Freud stated that the Self
has Sub-Divisions
of Id,
Ego, and
Superego
and that
growth occurs in Stages. |
The Id represented motivation or the Pleasure Principle. |
The Ego represented the Personality traits of the Self. |
The
Superego
represented
the Conscience. |
Freud
wrote about Fixation, where one's growth does not change past a certain
point. |
