"The Ego and the Id" is a seminal paper by the famous Austrian psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud. It is an in-depth exploration of the human psyche that outlines his influential theories of the psychodynamics of the id, ego, and super-ego, which would become the foundation for the development of psychoanalysis. This text is recommended for anyone with an interest in psychology or psychoanalysis, and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf.
