Unconscious intrapsychic processes serving to provide relief from emotional
conflict and anxiety. Conscious efforts are frequently made for the same
reasons, but true defense mechanisms are unconscious. Some of the common defense

displacement, dissociation, idealization, identification, incorporation,
interjection, projection, rationalization, reaction formation, regression,
sublimation, substitution, symbolization, and undoing.
