Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche.

The three parts are the theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction our mental life is described.
According to this Freudian 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. [1]
The super-ego can stop one from doing certain things that one's id may want to do. [2]


Although the model is structural and makes reference to an apparatus, the id, ego and super-ego are purely psychological concepts and do not correspond to (somatic) structures of the brain such as the kind dealt with byneuroscience. The super-ego is observable in how someone can view themselves as guilty,bad, pathetic, shameful, weak, and feel compelled to do certain things.
