Defense Mechanisms

A

46
Q

Types of Defense Mechanisms

A

Defense mechanisms (ego defenses):

  1. Repression involves keeping unwanted thoughts and feelings out of awareness, or unconscious. Repression may involve loss of memory for specific incidents, especially traumatic ones or those associated with painful emotions.
  2. Reaction formation involves keeping certain impulses out of awareness by replacing the unwanted impulse with its opposite.
  3. Projection attributes to others unacceptable thoughts and feelings of his or her own that are not conscious.
  4. Isolation is referred to as “isolation of affect”, for there is a repression of feelings associated with particular items, or of ideas connected with certain affects.
  5. Undoing involves symbolically nullifying or voiding an unacceptable or guilt-provoking act, thought, or feeling.
  6. Regression involves the return to an earlier developmental phase, level of functioning, or type of behavior in order to avoid the anxieties of the present.
  7. Introjection involves taking another person into the self, psychologically speaking, in order to avoid the direct expression of powerful emotions such as love or hate.
  8. Reversal is a general mechanism for the process of turning a feeling or attitude into its opposite.
  9. Sublimation involves converting an impulse from a socially objectionable aim to a socially acceptable one while still retaining the original goal of the impulse. It is considered the most “mature” defense.
  10. Intellectualization is warding off of unacceptable affects and impulses by thinking about them rather than experiencing them directly.
  11. Rationalization involves the use of convincing reasons to justify certain ideas, feelings, or actions so as to avoid recognizing their true underlying motive, which is unacceptable.
  12. Displacement is shifting feelings or conflicts about one person or situation onto another.
  13. Denial involves the negation or non-acceptance of important aspects of reality or of one’s own experience, even though they may actually be perceived.
  14. Somatization is when intolerable impulses or conflicts are converted into physical symptoms.
  15. Idealization is the overvaluing of, for example, person, place, family, or activity beyond what is realistic to protect the individual from anxiety associated with aggressive or competitive feelings toward a loved or feared one.
  16. Compensation tries to make up for what he or she perceives as deficits or deficiencies.
  17. Asceticism involves the moral renunciation of certain pleasures in order to avoid the anxiety and conflict associated with impulse gratification.
  18. Altruism involves obtaining satisfaction through self-sacrificing service to others or through participation in causes as a way of dealing with unacceptable feelings and conflicts.
  19. Splitting is characteristic of borderline conditions and involves the keeping apart of two contradictory ego states such as love and hate.
