super-ego
Id, ego, and super-ego are the three parts of the psychic apparatus defined in Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche;
they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and
interaction our mental life is described. According to this model of the
psyche, the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the super-ego plays the
critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the organized, realistic
part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego. The
super-ego can stop one from doing certain things that one's id may want to do.
