Document Summary

Id may not be satisfied if ego follows id. Only little bit on top, most of it underwater. Ego is half and half (conscious and unconscious) Interaction of id, ego, and superego results in constant struggle. If threat is in real world, flee and avoid. For id thinking and doing are the same. Deveote some mental energy to keep thought (memories, feelings, etc. ) out of awareness. When id can not achieve primary goal, a secondary goal is fashioned as outlet. With displacement, urge re channeled to safe route. Here, repressed wish is warded off by engaging in the diametrical opposite. You hate your sister and have been punished for this jealous behavior. Note: hostility often shows love is stifling and sister probably feels smothered by it, negation. I don"t hate my sister : rationalization urge reinterpreted in acceptable terms. Sour grapes effect cant have what you want so they were no good anyways: projection.
