Self-critical conscience — eg poseur (anag) (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

superego

(Other definitions for superego that I've seen before include "Internal monitor of psyche" , "Conscience, perhaps" , "Moral part of the (Freudian) unconscious" , "self-critic" , "Part of the unconscious mind - pose urge (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
