The Trinity of Personality is composed of three separate sections.
1. The Id- the function of this is to provide for the release of energy in the system.
2. The Ego- or the "executive" of the personality system, which aims at controlling and ruling the id and maintaining communication with the external world.
3. The Superego- or the "legislative- judicial" branch of the personality, which represents the ideal patterns and principles of behavior.
Freud believed that a human being was made up of these three components, which disagreed with traditional christianity that a person is made up of a "mind, body, and soul."
Other
strong points in Freud’s view of human nature include his assertiveness in
pansexuality, meaning that everything in life is caused by our sexual
instincts, and that sexuality defines our being.
