Answer to Question 1

Answer: The student has quite a few choices here. The defense mechanisms discussed in the textbook include reaction formation, isolation, denial, undoing, projection, displacement, sublimation, repression, and rationalization. I have seen lists of 30-40 so I see no need to confine the student to those discussed in the book. The essential relationship is that defense mechanisms are designed to reduce anxiety, which is caused by the tension between attempts on the part of the ego to balance the demands of id and superego. Then the student just needs to explain how a given defense mechanism reduces this type of anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: d: primary process
