I have just finished watching (some of) three seasons of House, and I have a theory about his team. To a certain extent, they represent his Freudian id (Chase), ego (Foreman) and superego (Cameron). This observation was mostly triggered by season 3 episode 18, Airborne, where House has three airplane passengers stand in for his team to provide the functions of agreement, disagreement and moral outrage.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough Freud (or House, for that matter) to fully develop my thesis with examples from the show.

PS - That is left as an exercise for the reader.
PPS - I wonder how many psychologists study TV characters.
