Document Summary

Personality: freud invoked a role of unconscious processes in the control of behavior, based on his observations of clients, topographical model: argued for 3 levels of consciousness, conflict occurs between the different aspects of consciousness, requires compromise formation. Id: if not satisfied creates anxiety for ego, if satisfied maintains anxiety: ego: tries to satisfy id, does not have mortality/understanding of real world, superego: tries to remain content. Ego defense mechanisms: defense mechanisms are unconscious mental processes that protect the conscious person from anxiety, repression: anxiety-evoking thoughts are kept unconscious, denial: person refuses to recognize reality.
