Psychosocial theory describes<unk>  as the<unk> 's accumulated assurance of its capacity for order and meaning.  This experience of consistency leads to the development of a reliable sense of self, a reliable sense of other, and an understanding of how those constructs interact to form a person's experience of reality.
In his structural theory, Sigmund Freud described the<unk>  as the mediator between the id and super-ego and the external world. The task of the<unk>  is to find a balance between primitive drives, morals, and reality, while simultaneously satisfying the id and superego. The main concern of the<unk>  is with safety and, while allowing some of the id's desires to be expressed, it is only when the consequences of this expression are marginal.<unk>  defenses are often employed by the<unk>  when id behaviour conflicts with reality and either society's morals, norms, and taboos, or an individual's expectations as a result of the internalization of these morals, norms, and taboos.
The word<unk>  is taken directly from Latin where it is the nominative of the first person singular personal pronoun and is translated as "I myself" to express emphasis -- it is a translation of Freud's German term "Das Ich," which in English would be "the I."
