The Structural Model was put forward by Freud in 1923, personifying each of the three parts of personality namely, id, ego and superego with an aim to better articulate the unconscious functioning or underlying conflicts within the person. This model suggested a threefold structure of personality in which the three constituents are not perceived as three separate entities with sharply defined boundaries, but rather that they represent an array of different processes, functions, and dynamics within one self that shape one's personality and even behavior.
Though this theory is widely known in the field of psychology, it is a bit too conceptual and hence hard for people to master and of course, based on what I know, I will try my very best to explain and illustrate the ideas / concepts involved in my following posts.
Before all those explanations, I would like to share with you a You Tube video clip which offers an overview of this model. Enjoy!!!
