Combination of id, ego, superego and ego psychology articles

I am not sure this was a very good idea. Atlhough ego psychology is a school of psychoanalysis that originated in Freud's id-ego-superego model, I think it is confusing to have the ego psychology article stuffed into the id, ego, superego article. Ego psychology is a school of thought, and the id-ego-superego is a specific model.

I agree fully with this. The "ego, superego and id" could be discussed in an article called Structural theory of psychoanalysis. Ego psychology should be its own article. /skagedal... 01:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I am moving ego psychology into it's own article, which will most likely be a stub. Lacan hated ego psychology, and Freud would've hated it for its 'feel-good' bullshit so it should be elsewhere. Plus, what the hell does it have to do with the structural/topographical model of the mind?--Jordangordanier 02:32, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lacan

I have added a subsection under the Critiques of Ego-psychology as Lacan was a huge critic of this movement and his theory stood in opposition to it. His prominence in psychoanalysis and other fields of academia warrants a small mention at least. Jordangordanier 03:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
