Ideal ego

The Ideal ego (German: ichideal) refers to the subject being perceived like idealized.

Sigmund Freud : ego pleasure

Freud does not distinguish ideal ego nor Ego ideal. Ideal ego however includes itself/understands according to a freudienne formulation.

Freud thinks the formation of the Me like being spread out in several phases. If it Me institutes the Conscience and the Principle of reality, which will make possible the capacity to admit defects melting it to me reality, there is initially one me much more antiquated. Ego pleasure, if it indicates the first work of differentiation between the inside and the outside, agrees of effects certain advantages: it rejects any fault outside, or rather any displeasure, any imperfection, and are thought as the sum of any good.

Ego pleasure thus describes the infantile tendency to reconnaïtre like the good, and to indicate outside like the evil. There is Introjection good and projection of bad.

Ego heroic

The Ideal ego will be the authority of the heroic identifications: if it me is defined already as imaginary, ideal ego is to it triumph of the tale, expressing themselves for example in the Rêve, or the diurnal daydream, expressing all the force of the subject which is seen like sur-homme (within the meaning of super-man, concept different from the Surhomme of Friedrich Nietzsche).
