Self = replaces all the complexes; no longer individual complexes. Embodies/includes/reorganizes various pieces making up the complexes into something completely different.

Childhood: birth to adolescence libido directed at learning basic skills later in period (8-10): emergence of sexual motives. Freud: sexual motives emerged at birth-resolution of the oeidipus complex.
