You’ve heard of projection and repression. In our continuing series of the great minds of psychology, we explore the defense mechanisms developed by Anna Freud, first introduced by her father, Sigmund Freud. We discuss:

  • Why defenses are important for the ego and a sign of a healthy mind
  • How Anna Freud expanded defense mechanisms by working with children of World War II in London
  • Some of the defense mechanisms and their purpose
  • How to work with the defenses for a more conscious life
