Selected Psychoanalytic Defense Mechanisms
- REPRESSION
- An active attempt to push desires and thoughts out of one's consciousness or to keep material from reaching consciousness. Example: You forget that you owned a pet that was run over by a car when you were a child.
- DISPLACEMENT
- A change in the primary object of a feeling or desire to a secondary one that is less threatening. Example: You are angry at your boss but you yell at your husband or wife instead.
- SUBLIMATION
- Here the displacement is more long-term and the object chosen is socially acceptable. Example: You want to hit and hurt your father, but you become a professional boxer or football player.
- DENIAL
- The truth of certain facts or experiences is denied, rather than forgotten as in repression. Example: Your daughter dies but you act as if she is alive, keeping a bed made up for her.
- REACTION FORMATION
- A desire is changed or transformed into the opposite feeling or desire. Example: You hate or deeply resent your father, but you tell everyone how much you love him and act toward him in a loving manner.
- PROJECTION
- You have an unconscious desire or thought, but you attribute it to someone else instead of acknowledging it in yourself. Example: You no longer love someone but accuse him or her of no longer loving you instead.
- RATIONALIZATION
- The process of finding an acceptable reason for doing something unacceptable. Example: You punish your child harshly, but say "I'm doing this for your own good."
- REGRESSION
- You replace your desires or thoughts with those from an earlier stage of your development. Example: You are under stress and get angry at someone who works for you, so you throw a temper tantrum.
