Psychoanalyst's part of the unconscious mind that acts as a conscience (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

superego

(Other definitions for superego that I've seen before include "piece of his mind?" , "self-critic" , "Freud's part of the mind that acts as a self-critical conscience" , "self-criticism?" , "Part of mind acting as conscience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
