Tripartite Theory of Personality. Freud (1923) saw the personality structured into three parts (i.e. tripartite), the id, ego and superego (also known as the psyche), all developing at different stages in our lives. These are systems, not parts of the brain, or in any way physical.

Psychoanalytic theory examines the factors that motivate behavior by focusing on the role of the unconscious.
