Exploring Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, this overview delves into the id, ego, and superego, and their roles in shaping behavior. It contrasts with trait theory's stable characteristics, Eysenck's biological basis of personality dimensions, and Rogers's humanistic focus on self-actualization and the self-concept. These theories collectively offer a multifaceted understanding of personality, integrating various elements to explain human behavior.
