Psychoanalisis
Defense Mechanisms
DENIAL: defense mechanism which involves a refusal to accept reality, thus blocking external events from awareness.
REPRESSION: unconscious defense mechanism employed by the ego to keep disturbing or threatening thoughts from becoming conscious.
PROJECTION: psychological defense mechanism in which an individual attributes unwanted thoughts, feelings and motives onto another person.
-
RATIONALIZATION: cognitive distortion of "the facts" to make an event or an impulse less threatening. We do it often enough on a fairly conscious level when we provide ourselves with excuses.
REGRESSION: defense mechanism proposed whereby the ego reverts to an earlier stage of development usually in response to stressful situations.
REACTION FORMATION: a person goes beyond denial and behaves in the opposite way to which he or she thinks or feels.
SUBLIMATION: similar to displacement, but takes place when we manage to displace our unacceptable emotions into behaviors which are constructive and socially acceptable, rather than destructive activities
IDENTIFICATION W/ AGRESSOR: involves the victim adopting the behavior of a person who is more powerful and hostile towards them.
