Document Summary

Anxiety is the systems way of letting the person know that the ego is losing control, informing itself that id or superego is overwhelming from ego point of view. Anxiety is a sign that system is out of whack, to be protected against. Human mind has all kinds of mechanisms to defend itself from experiencing anxiety known as defence mechanisms =different strategies to protect mind. There are different defences that people use depending on how they are particularly partial to it. But repression doesn"t always work, some urges are so strong, so then we have auxiliary defences, where we show individual preferences, wide range (17 or 18 defences) Freud thinks that maybe these attributes that you don"t approve in them are actually attributes you see in yourself, rather than disdaining yourself, you look at the others and despise them (easier to deal with)
