Question:
What is Id?
Answer:
At birth we are all id. The id is totally unconscious and impulsive. It is the source of all
drives, instincts, reflexes, and needs. The id cannot tolerate frustration and seeks to
discharge tension and return to a more comfortable level of energy. The id lacks the
ability to problem solve and is illogical. A hungry screaming infant is the perfect example
of this.
Question:
What is Ego?
Answer:
Within the first few years of life as the child begins to interact with others, the ego
develops. The ego resides in the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious levels of
awareness. The problem solver and reality tester, the ego attempts to navigate the
outside world. It is able to differentiate subjective experiences, memory images, and
objective reality. The ego follows the reality principle, which says to the id "You have to
delay gratification for right now" then sets a course of action. For example, a hungry man
feels tension arising from the id that wants to be fed. His ego allows him not only to think
about his hunger but also to plan where he can eat and to seek that destination. This
process is known as reality testing because the individual is factoring in reality to
implement a plan to discuss tension.
Question:
What is Superego?
Answer:
The superego, which develops between the ages of 3 and 5, represents the moral
component of personality. The superego resides in the conscious, preconscious, and
unconscious levels of awareness. The superego consists of the conscious (all the "should
nots" internalized from parents and society) and the ego ideal (all the "shoulds"
internalized from parents and society). When behavior falls short of ideal, the superego
may induce guilt. Likewise, when behavior is ideal, the superego may allow a sense of
,pride.
Question:
What is Interpersonal Therapy?
Answer:
An effective short term therapy. The assumption is that psychiatric disorders are
influenced by interpersonal interactions and the social context. The goal of interpersonal
therapy is to reduce or eliminate psychiatric symptoms (particularly depression) by
improving interpersonal functioning and satisfaction with social relationships.
Interpersonal therapy has proven successful in the treatment of depression. Treatment is
based on the notion that disturbances in important interpersonal relationships (or a
deficit in one's capacity to form those relationships) can play a role in initiating or
maintaining clinical depression. In interpersonal therapy, the therapist identifies the nature
of the problem to be resolved and then selects strategies consistent with that problem
area.
