'''Id''' is one of the three primary psychological constructs which comprise the human [[mind]] in [[Freudian psychology|Freudian psychoanalytical theory]]. It was derived by [[Sigmund Freud]]. The term ''id'' is directly derived from the [[German]] word for "it". The id is supposed to be, essentially, the component of the mind consituted of the primal desires present. In Freudian theory, the mind of a newborn child is considered to be entirely "id-driven", that is, the [[super-ego]] has not yet imposed its restraints, via the [[ego]], upon the child's mind. | '''Id''' is one of the three primary psychological constructs which comprise the human [[mind]] in [[Freudian psychology|Freudian psychoanalytical theory]].
