Ego-psychology

"ego-psychology" (Fr. psychologie du moi)

Ego-psychology has been -- since its development in the 1930s -- the dominant school of psychoanalysis in the International Psycho-Analytical Association (IPA).

It draws mainly on Freud's structural model of the psyche -- which was first put forward in The Ego and the Id (1923).

This model comprises three agencies: the id, the ego, and the superego.

This model comprises three agencies:

• the id,
• the ego, and
• the superego.
