Sigmund Freud believed that conscious level of the

mind was similar to the tip of a iceberg.

Which some of it could

be seen but the other

half couldn't. which was mysterious and was hidden.

Id, ego, and

Ego is different from Id

as it extremely objective.

Operates according to

the “reality principle”

and deals with the demands of the environment and it regulates the flow of

libido which keeps the id

check. Which acts as a

control center of the

personality.
