==Psychoanalysis==
Perhaps the most well known branch, Psychoanalysis was founded by [[Sigmund Freud]] and focuses on the three divisions of the mind, the [[Ego]], the [[Superego]], and the [[Id]]. Freud proposed that the Id, being completly unconscious, was in control of our wants and desires, and demanded immediate satisfaction of its wants. The Superego was responsible for our ethical sense, seeking to supress the Id, and the Ego balanced the needs of the Id and Superego. The Ego operates on what Freud termed the "reality principle", operating in a rational and pragmatic fashion.
