The ego must act as a mediator between the moral norms of the superego, the realistic expectations of reality, and the I basic d's. One method by which the ego lessens the stress that unacceptably strong urges or emotions can cause is through sublimation. Sublimation transforms undesirable impulses into desirable and acceptable behaviors.

'Projection is a mental process also introduced by Freud in which people attribute to others what is on their mind. An example of this would be if an individual is frustrated and angry, and assume that other people are feeling that type of way towards them as well. This defense mechanism was introduced to Freud from whom he borrowed the term projection from neurology to refer to the intrinsic ability of neurons to transmit one stimuli of the nervous system to the next. Seeing oneself in another is still considered to be the meaning of the phrase in modern psychological science. Positive and negative repercussions can result from this seemingly universal human social animal inclination. Projection can be the root of both compassion and cold nature, depending on the traits that are projected and if they are denied in the self. '
