PREVIEW OF QUESTION 1
1. 4 The ego functions according to the reality principle and the secondary process.
The ego is often described as the ‘executive’ because it directs the energies supplied by the id. The id
can be described as a blind king or queen who has considerable power but who must rely on others
to carry out orders. The ego directs power by linking the desires of the id to external reality. We say
that the ego is guided by the reality principle – that is, it delays action until the activity is practical or
appropriate. The ego is the conscious control of the personality and can prevent the
world from being chaotic!
