While her father focused primarily on repression as the central defense mechanism, Anna Freud greatly elaborated on individual defense mechanisms, including reaction formation, regression, undoing, introjection, identification, projection, turning against the self, reversal, and sublimation. She was also a key figure in the development of modem ego psychology in that she emphasized that there was "depth in the surface."The defenses marshaled by the ego to avoid unacceptable wishes from the id were in and of themselves complex and worthy of attention. Up to that point, the primary focus had been on uncovering unconscious sexual and aggressive wishes. She also made seminal contributions to the field of child psychoanalysis and studied the function of the ego in person-ality development. She founded the Hampstead child therapy course and clinic in London in 1947 and served as its director.
