A primer of Freudian psychology.The stabilized personality.
Abstract
This chapter examines Freud's perspective on the stabilized personality. It is contended that the stabilized personality is one in which the psychic energy has found more or less permanent and constant ways of expending itself in performing psychological work. The precise nature of this work is determined by the structural and dynamical characteristics of the id, ego, and superego, by the interactions between them, and by the developmental history of the id, ego, and superego.
