  • The id, ego, and superego, the layers of the human mind, function on different planes.
  • The id is the source of pleasure-based desires
  • The ego balances the id with the reality
  • The superego internalizes cultural mores.
  • According to Freud, the foundations of personality are laid in the first years of life and are difficult to change.
  • Parents need to shape children to successfully overcome developmental tasks in each stage.
  • The psychosexual process has five orderly stages
  • Each stage is influenced by the previous one, and cannot be separated by strict boundaries
