Freud – psychoanalytic
Freud identified three parts to the personality, starting with a †̃symbioticâ€TM relationship between a mother and child in the first months. Here an infant sees him or herself as part of his or her mother.
This is one reason why a child of about 18 months becomes †̃egocentricâ€TM, or aware of himself as separate, and able to say †̃noâ€TM and to be in control.
