What is psychic conflict?
Core Concept (Freudian View):
In Freud’s structural model of the mind:
•Id: primitive drives and instincts (pleasure, aggression, sexuality)
•Superego: internalized moral standards, guilt, and societal rules
•Ego: the mediator between the id, superego, and reality
Psychic conflict arises when:
•The id demands immediate gratification
•The superego imposes guilt or shame
•And the ego tries to manage both within the constraints of reality
Example:
A person feels a strong sexual attraction (id) to someone, but their values (superego) and social context make acting on that attraction unacceptable. The ego experiences anxiety and must find a way to cope---either by repressing the desire, sublimating it, or experiencing symptoms like guilt or obsession.
