repressionIn psychology, a mental process that ejects and excludes from consciousness ideas, impulses, or memories that would otherwise threaten emotional stability. In the Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud's early writing, repression is controlled by the censor, a hypothetical mechanism or agency that allows ideas, memories, and so on from the unconscious to emerge into consciousness only if distorted or disguised, as for example in dreams.

He was white to the lips, his whole frame was shaking with the effort of intense repression. |
