The Whole is Other than the Sum of the Parts When the perceptual system forms a percept or gestalt, the whole thing has a reality of its own, independent of the parts. The Gestalt psychologist Kurt Koffka made a famous statement about this: The whole is other than the sum of its parts. This statement is often translated to English as, The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Freud posited that the mind consists of three parts that must interact properly for a person to function well in society. If any one of the three parts becomes dominant, personal and social problems may result. The three parts are the id, the superego, and the ego. 1  Id: According to Freud, the id develops first. 2  A newbornâs mind consists only of the id, which is responsible for the satisfaction of physical desires.
