Extract

Defense mechanisms have been around the world since people had the ability to feel. Though each person goes through each defense differently and in there own way they go through them just he same. These defenses are repression, reaction, regression and denial just to name a few.
Repression is the withdrawal from consciousness of an unwanted idea or desire by pushing it down, or repressing it, into the unconscious part of the mind. An example is hysterical amnesia, in which the victim has performed or witnessed some disturbing act and then completely forgotten the act itself and the circumstances surrounding it.
