The underlying presence of intrapsychic conflict with the resulting tension, attempted defenses, and sought-after resolution and its disguised outward expression is to be recognized today as the central dynamic concept in the origin of the neurotic and the functional psychotic's emotional illness.
The primary gain of a neurotic behavior is that intrapsychic conflict and tension are reduced through the use of a defense mechanism, such as repression, regression, denial, or rationalization (Kaplan & Sadock, 1991).
For example, the need to reduce illiteracy, or to arrange for child care, may well take precedence over treating issues of career indecision or intrapsychic conflict.
