==Sigmund Freud==
The term '"[[superego]]' (''surmoi'') " does not appear until quite late in [[Freud]]'s [[Sigmund Freud:Bibliography|work]], [[being ]] first introduced in ''[[The Ego and the Id]] '' (1923).
It was in this [[work]] that [[Freud]] developed a 'introduced his so-called "[[structural model' of ]]", in which the [[psyche]], is [[divided ]] into [[three ]] [[agencies]]:the [[ego]], the [[id]] and the [[superego]].
==Jacques Lacan==
He argues that the primary function of the [[superego]] is to [[repress]] [[desire|sexual desire]] for the [[mother]] in the [[resolution]] of the [[Oedipus complex]].
Following [[Freud]], he argues that the [[superego]] results from [[Oedipal]] [[identification]] with the [[father]], but he also refers to [[Kleinian psychoanalysis|Melanie Klein]]'s [[thesis]] on the [[maternal]] origins of an archaic [[form]] of the [[superego]].<ref>{{1938}} p. 59-60</ref>
===Symbolic Law===When, Lacan returns to the subject of the superego in his 1953-4 [[seminar]]; he locates it in Civilization and Its Discontents (1930a)the [[symbolic|symbolic order]], Freud raised as opposed to the issue [[imaginary|imaginary order]] of a (collective) cultural the [[ego]]: the [[superego, he was revisiting his earlier reflections on ]] is essentially located within the origins [[symbolic|symbolic plane]] of civilization in Totem and Taboo (1912-1913a)[[speech]].<ref>{{S1}} p. 102</ref>
The specific imperative involved is the command "Enjoy!"; the [[superego]] is the [[Other]] insofar as the [[Other]] commands the [[subject]] to [[enjoy]].
The [[superego]] is thus the expression of the [[superego|will-to-enjoy]] (''volonte de jouissance''), which is not the [[subject]]'s own will but the will of the [[Other]], who assumes the form of [[Sade]]'s "Supreme Being-in-[[Evil]]."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 773</ref>
