Freud identifies three components of the self: the id, ego, and superego.
Page 5: Freud’s Iceberg Model
Model Interpretation
Illustrates the relationship between the conscious and unconscious mind, highlighting the id's dynamic.
Page 6: Understanding the Id
Id Explored
The id comprises primitive drives such as hunger and aggression, seeking immediate satisfaction unconsciously.
Page 7: The Nature of the Id
Additional Insights
The id represents primal and instinctive impulses that are ultimately repressed by social norms.
Page 8: Understanding the Superego
Superego Defined
The superego drives adherence to social norms, influencing individuals to seek respect and acceptance from society.
Page 9: Role of Superego
Functionality
Represents morality, societal rules, and values influenced by society and parents; serves as a judge against the id's desires.
Page 10: Understanding the Ego
Ego Defined
Acts as the mediator that reconciles the desires of the id with the moral constraints of the superego.

Personality Formation
An individual’s personality balances the three components, developing skills to navigate society.

Overview of Mead’s Perspective
Mead's theory reflects a dynamic interplay between the "I" and the "Me" to form self-identity.

Self-Perception
