These are the seven elements of a psyche, a person’s sense of self, as mapped out by Charles Baudouin, a French contemporary of Freud, Jung, and Adler. According to his Wikipedia article (auto-translated from French):
. Taking up the Freudian notion of instances as “different substructures of the psychic apparatus” or sub-personalities, Baudouin brings together in a representation the schema “of the seven partners of the Self”, including:
- the three Freudian instances of the id (or primitive), the ego and the superego,
- the three Jungian instances, the persona, the shadow and the self (both center and container of the whole),
- a Baudouinian instance, the automaton.
The ever-changing balance of the psychic system will depend on their oppositions, agreements or complementarity.
I like the way it resembles both a color chart and a magical seal from a grimoire. I found the illustration on Wikimedia Commons.
