Charlotte suffers from intense anxiety. How would Freud explain this anxiety? In your answer, describe the different parts of the personality from a Freudian perspective, and how these parts of personality interact to produce anxiety

What will be an ideal response?


Freud suggests that behavior results from interaction of three subsystems in personality: id (source of instinctual drives, pleasure principle), ego (mediator between demands of id and external world), reality principle), and superego (conscience, internalization of societal morals and taboos). Inner (intrapsychic) conflicts arise when these three make incompatible demands on the individual. Freud suggests three types of anxiety: reality, neurotic, and moral anxiety. The ego handles anxiety either rationally or with ego-defense mechanisms.
