==Sigmund Freud==
[[Freud]] borrowed the term ''[[das Es]]'' (which the ''[[Standard Edition]]'' translates as "[[the Id]]") from Georg Groddeck, one of the first [[German]] [[psychiatry|psychiatrists]] to support [[psychoanalysis]], although [[Freud]] also noted, Groddeck himself seems to have taken the term from Nietzche.<ref>{{F}} ''[[Works of Sigmund Freud|The Ego and the Id]]''. 1923b. [[SE]] XIX. p. 23</ref>
Groddeck argued that "what we call the ego behaves essentially passively in life, and ... we are "lived" by known and uncontrollable forces,"<ref>{{F}} ''[[Works of Sigmund Freud|The Ego and the Id]]''. 1923b. [[SE]] XIX. p. 23</ref> and used the term ''[[das Es]]'' to denote these forces.
==Structural Model of the Psyche==
The term first appears in [[Freud]]'s work in the early 1920s, in the context of the second model of the [[pyschepsyche]]; in this model, the [[psyche]] is divided into three agencies: the [[id]], the [[ego]] and the [[superego]].
The [[id]] corresponds roughly to what [[Freud]] called the [[unconscious|unconsicous system]] in his first model of the [[psyche]], but there are also important differences between these two concepts.
