The ''superego'' forms as the child grows and learns [[parental]] and [[social]] [[standards]]. The superego consists of two [[structures]]: the [[conscience]], which stores [[information]] about what is "[[bad]]" and what has been punished and the ego [[ideal]], which stores information about what is "[[good]]" and what one "[[obligation|should]]" do or be.

===The ego's use of defense mechanisms===
===The ego's use of defense mechanisms===
When [[anxiety]] becomes too overwhelming, it is then the place of the ego to employ ''defense mechanisms'' to protect the [[individual]]. [[Feelings]] of [[guilt]], embarrassmenhttp://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/skins/common/images/button_link.pngt and shame often accompany the feeling of anxiety. In the first definitive book on defense mechanisms, ''The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense'' (1936), [[Anna Freud]] introduced the [[concept]] of signal anxiety; she stated that it was "not directly a conflicted instinctual tension but a signal occurring in the ego of an anticipated instinctual tension". The signaling [[function]] of anxiety is thus seen as a crucial one and biologically adapted to warn the [[organism]] of danger or a threat to its [[equilibrium]]. The anxiety is felt as an increase in [[bodily]] or [[mental]] [[tension]] and the signal that the organism receives in this way allows it the possibility of taking defensive [[action]] towards the perceived danger. Defense mechanisms work by distorting the id impulses into acceptable forms, or by unconscious or conscious blockage of these impulses.
