tructure of the mind.
Freud’s structure of the mind.
The id.
This part of the mind that Freud explains as the Id refers to the unconscious part of the mind that seeks to find pleasure. Freud believes that because of the Id people act out in certain ways. If the Id is not in par with the ego and super ego it can effect behaviour. As the Id is the part of the mind that holds all basic drives in order to satisfy any needs, the Id is also explained as being impulsive. The Id does not take into consideration any consequences that may occur in reality because of a certain behaviour.

The Superego is seen as the conscious part of the mind unlike the Id and Ego which is seen as the Unconscious part of the mind. The Superego can over drive the urges that come from the Id, there are two parts of the Superego, the ideal self and the conscious, this is where morally accepted perceptions are kept as well as the images people have of how they should be and how they should act. The superego develops from the Oedipul complex. …show more content…
Strengths and weaknesses of these theories.

The weaknesses of Freud’s theory and what he was criticised a lot for was that his theory was not scientifically proven. Freud was also criticised for using a method that was seen as being bias as well as Freud not taking people’s cultural backgrounds into consideration as well biological factors. Another weakness of Freud’s theory was that of focuses to much on sexual issues, and not taking other factors such as interpersonal relationships and social factors.(Siegried,2014)
The strengths of Jung’s analytic theory was that it was seen as a very encompassing theory. The analytic theory was also seen as ones that added a great deal to the explanation of human behaviour which also helped is discovering other theories. Jung’s theory helps in widening the idea’s of personality and how in depth personality is and all the different types of
