==Sigmund Freud==
===Structural Model===
[[Ego-psychology]] draws mainly on [[Freud]]'s [[structural model]] of the [[psyche]], which was first put forward in ''[[The Ego and the Id]]'' (1923). This a model comprises comprising three agencies: the [[id]], the [[ego]], and the [[superego]].
Since the [[ego]] plays a crucial role in mediating between the conflicting [[demand]]s of the [[instinctual]] [[id]], the [[moralistic]] [[superego]] and [[external]] [[reality]], more attention began to be paid to its [[development]] and [[structure]].
