Freud Essay

Freud found out that one important factor which is a concerns of intra-psychic was anxiety. For anxiety not to occur then the ego needs to continue a controlled balance of the ID and superego. At this point an important role takes place which is ego defence mechanisms. One defence mechanism is repression which is (what Freud really said, David Stafford-Clark, 1965) threatening impulses which are repressed in the unconscious, even though they don’t disappear the individual is unware also repressed encounters can then start the symptoms of anxiety or even emotional disorder. Another defence mechanism is displacement which is when your unacceptance drive like hatred. The last defence mechanism is denial which is when the adult or child starts to reject acceptance for an event that happened such as death. Reaction formation is when your consciousness if fixated on some kind of idea, affect or even a desire which is the complete opposites of a feared unconscious impulse. Projection is when an unwanted feeling and regression is a gratification which is from an earlier stages and rationalization is the replacement of the truth which will cause threatening behaviour but it had a sensible explanation. Another defence mechanism is undoing which is where an individual’s goal is the cancellation of previous hostile experiences. Also introjection which is personal related to identification which focuses on solving emotional trouble. Sublimation is also a defence mechanism which is the energy that is participated in sexual impulses. The reason we have defence mechanism is to help protect our conscious self from things like anxiety and if this is unsuccessful then anxiety can result in clinical disorders such as phobias and generated
