Defense Mechanisms
The concept of the defense mechanism originated with Sigmund Freud. Defense mechanisms allow negative feelings to be lessened without an alteration of the situation that is producing them, often by distorting the reality of that situation in some way. ... Defense mechanisms include repression, projection, displacement, reaction formation, and regression. ... Suppression is sometimes considered one of the more healthy and mature defense mechanisms. ... Displacement is a defense by which an impulse is displaced through redirection to another object or replacement by another impulse.
