    - - Defense mechanisms
        
        Repression
        
        An unconscious defense mechanism employed by the ego to keep disturbing or threatening thoughts from becoming conscious.
        
        Denial
        
        Involves a refusal to accept reality, thus blocking external events from awareness.
        
        Projection
        
        A psychological defense mechanism in which an individual attributes unwanted thoughts, feelings and motives onto another person.
        
        Displacement
        
        The redirection of an impulse (usually aggression) onto a powerless substitute target. The target can be a person or an object that can serve as a symbolic substitute.
        
        Regression
        
        The ego reverts to an earlier stage of development usually in response to stressful situations.
        
        Sublimation
        
        It takes place when we manage to displace our unacceptable emotions into behaviors which are constructive and socially acceptable, rather than destructive activities.
        
        Rationalization
        
        A defense mechanism involving a cognitive distortion of "the facts" to make an event or an impulse less threatening. (We do it often on a fairly conscious level when we provide ourselves with excuses).
        
        Rection formation
        
        Is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person goes beyond denial and behaves in the opposite way to which he or she thinks or feels.
        
        Identification with the aggressor
        
        It involves the victim adopting the behavior of a person who is more powerful and hostile towards them.
      - Reality principle
        
        The opposing force to the instinctual urges of the pleasure principle.
        
        Instead of seeking immediate gratification for urges, the reality principle guides the ego to seek avenues to fulfill these needs that are both realistic and socially appropriate.
      - It develops from the id and ensures that the impulses of the id can be expressed in a manner acceptable in the real world.
      - It functions in the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious mind.
      - Is the component of personality that is responsible for dealing with reality
