Discussion Post: Id, Ego, and Superego
As with personality theories, Freud's theory and other psychoanalytic theories may be difficult to test and prove in court. Analyze Freud's theory and discuss the impact that it has on the development of criminal behavior. What roles do the Id, Ego, and Superego play in problematic behavior, and what influence do defensive mechanisms have on the development of criminal behavior? Discuss the pros and cons of Freud's theory and how you feel it would hold up in court.
