Wk 2 PSY220- Fruedian and Neo-Analytic Theories


 Which one of the theories discussed in this week’s readings do you think is most useful in understanding and explaining personality development in contemporary society? 

Super Ego, ID, or EGO

Explain your position. Be sure to select a theory, briefly describe it and name the theorist, rather than a general concept. Link your chosen theory directly to aspects of personality development in contemporary society you are attempting to explain rather than only summarizing the theory.
