Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence
Such a definition of psycho-analysis was not infrequently met with in analytical writings and was perhaps warranted by the current usage, which has always treated psycho-analysis and depth psychology as synonymous terms. Moreover, there was some justification for it in the past, for it may be said that from the earliest years of our science its theory, built up as it was On an empirical basis, was pre-eminently a psychology of the unconscious or, as we should say to-day, of the id. But the definition immediately loses all claim to accuracy when we apply it to psycho-analytic therapy.

It explores the various methods of defense that the ego employs to manage these conflicting forces. Defense mechanisms such as denial, displacement, repression, and sublimation are discussed through the lens of clinical examples, providing a nuanced understanding of how these defenses can both protect and distort our perceptions. By examining how individuals navigate the tension between instinctual drives and societal expectations, the author sheds light on the complexities of human behavior and the subtle ways in which the ego shapes our personalities and relationships.
