Description
A number of phenomena are used to aid in the maintenance of repression. These are termed Ego Defense Mechanisms (the terms “Mental Mechanisms” and “Defense Mechanisms” are essentially synonymous with this). The primary functions of these mechanisms are:
1. to minimize anxiety 2. to protect the ego 3. to maintain repression
Repression is useful to the individual since:
1. it prevents discomfort 2. it leads to some economy of time and effort
