Title: Re: According to the psychoanalytic theory, what is the main job of the ego? Post by: ThePsychic on Jun 20, 2012 The main job of the ego is to be rational and keep the id’s impulses for instant gratification balanced with the superego’s need for moral perfection. The ego sometimes utilizes defense mechanisms in order to deal with the anxiety it faces when it is overloaded.
