id, ego, superego (in a venn diagram)
The ID is the only component of personality present from birth. It is the source of our bodily needs, wants, desires, and impulses, particularly our sexual and aggressive drives. The superego is influenced by parents and those who have stepped into the place of parents — educators, teachers, people chosen as ideal models. The ego is the organized, realistic part that mediates (makes choices) between the desires of the id and the super-ego. The Super-ego can be thought of as a type of conscience that punishes misbehavior with feelings of guilt.

Reviews

The Visual Time Traveller
This is a labour of love, insanity, beauty and, perhaps, an attempt to reintegrate history, art and science together again.
  Simon Cocking Irish Tech News

Crabbing
Her range of language is both staccato and soft, in succinct verse, which encourages you to read this aloud, truly the best way to engage in the emotional depth of a poem.
