Document Summary

Conscious is what you"re thinking, preconscious is something you can bring up (example: your phone number) and unconscious you can"t go into it and search you need other methods. Freud said you push painful stuff into the unconscious and they try to push up and is neurosis. Id is what you want (pizza), superego is what is good for you (salad) and ego is a compromise (pizza and salad). Self-deception: lying to yourself the things you can"t handle to face. Projection: (example: you want to be mean but it"s difficult for you so when someone is mean to you, you get angry at them for being mean). Repression is part of all of the defense mechanisms.
