BLOCK, James E.. Do Supereu ao ideal do eu: para um novo modelo de autodesenvolvimento. Trivium [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.2, pp. 98-108. ISSN 2176-4891.

To construct a new model of human possibility in a global culture preoccupied by social and psychological limits, the researchers of human development must address the promise of the post-neoliberal human subject. A crucial resource is Freud's earlier psychoanalytic and psychodynamic writings, specifically his concept of the ego ideal, the subject's vision from experiences and dreams of its developing possibilities and capacities. Despite his later revision of the ego ideal as an internal structure more concerned with deference to authority and social norms (the super ego), the ego ideal offers a powerful theoretical and developmental construct for imagining emergent human capacities and capabilities. Utilizing theories of Rousseau, Kohut, Jacobsen, Fromm, Marcuse, and Kohlberg, this essay explores the positive implications of the ego ideal and offers a conceptual model of a more fully evolved ego ideal for the contemporary world.
