  • Freud was of the view that SUPEREGO stems out after the CHILD IDENTIFIES WITH HIS/HER PARENTS. SUPEREGO act as PARENTAL VOICE, while, Murray defined SUPEREGO as the INTERNALIZATION OF THE CULTURE'S VALUES AND NORMS by which we come to evaluate and judge our behavior and that of others
  • Freud said that the age of 5, SUPEREGO is CRYSTALLIZED, while, Murray suggested that the SUPEREGO CONTINUOUSLY DEVELOPS THROUGHOUT LIFETIME
  • Freud: the SUPEREGO is in CONSTANT CONFLICT with ID; while Murray: suggested that the SUPEREGO is NOT IN CONSTANT CONFLICT with ID because the ID contains the BAD and GOOD IMPULSES
  • Freud stated that when EGO acts contrary to the demands of SUPEREGO and does not meet its standards, it gives guilt and feelings of inferiority while Murray believed that SUPEREGO prevents the occurrence of socially unacceptable impulses and expresses acceptable needs appropriately
  • while the SUPEREGO is developing, so is the EGO-IDEAL
  • EGO IDEAL represents what we can become at our best (IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE) and not what we can become if we do not meet SUPEREGO'S STANDARDS
