  1. In vivo (antabuse)

137
Q

Freud believed that neurotic anxiety results in unacceptable urges of the id which become too strong to be controlled by the ego and these impulses begin to edge their way into consciousness. At this point the ego is unable to control the anxiety by rational methods and therefore resorts to the ego defense mechanisms. The purpose of the defense is to prevent the id’s forbidden impulses from entering consciousness. Defense mechanisms work through self deception and distortion of reality so that the id’s urges will not be acknowledged. The predominant defense mechanims include (8):

A
  1. repression - the most basic and underlies all others “motivated forgetting”
  2. regression - retreating to behaviors of an earlier less demanding and safer stage of development
  3. projection - seeing one’s unconscious urges (like hostility) in another person’s behavior which can lead to suspicion and paranoia
  4. displacement - transfering the emotion on a substitute - like fearing snakes instead of sex
  5. reaction formation - engaging in behaviors that are the exact opposition of the id’s real urges - the aggressive mother who has aggressive urges towards her child and becomes a doting and overprotective mother
  6. intellectualization - distancing from feelings
  7. rationalization - coming up with self satisfying and incorrect reasons for one’s behaviors
  8. sublimation - finding a socially acceptable way of discharging energy from unconscious forbidden desires - this is normal and desirable
