Psychoanalytic Theory
Defense Mechanisms
Repression: Unconscious mechanism in which the ego pushes disturbing or threatening thoughts out of consciousness.
-
Projection: the ego’s attempt to solve discomfort by attributing the individual’s unacceptable thoughts, feelings, and motives to another person.
Displacement: a mechanism by which the individual can satisfy an impulse by acting on a substitute object or person in a socially unacceptable way.
Regression: a defense mechanism in which the individual moves backward in development in order to cope with stress
Sublimation: similar to displacement, this defense mechanism involves satisfying an impulse by acting on a substitute, but in a socially acceptable way.
