One area where many psychologists view Freud favorably is his proposal that we use a variety of automatic tactics to protect ourselves from anxiety, especially against threats to self-image, often without realizing we’re using these defense mechanisms (or ego defense mechanisms). We all lie to ourselves sometimes. We avoid topics that unnerve us, devalue things we can’t have (“sour grapes”), and shield ourselves from stress in many other ways. Sigmund’s daughter Anna Freud deserves credit for giving names to numerous processes that her father had described without labeling and for identifying additional defense mechanisms he never addressed.13
