Q

____, serve a useful function by protecting the ego against the pain of anxiety.
Although ____are normal and universally used, when carried to an extreme they
lead to compulsive, repetitive, and neurotic behavior.

A

Defensive behaviors/mechanisms

20
Q

DEFENSE MECHANISMS

Whenever the ego is threatened by
undesirable id impulses, it protects
itself by repressing those impulses; that
is, it forces threatening feelings into
the unconscious

ex: An adult suffers a nasty spider bite as a child and develops an intense phobia of spiders later in life without any recollection of the experience as a child. Because the memory of the spider bite is repressed, he or she may not understand where the phobia originates.

A

Repression

21
Q

DEFENSE MECHANISMS

One of the ways in which a repressed
impulse may become conscious is
through adopting a disguise that is
directly opposite its original form.

ex: a young boy who bullies a young girl because, on a subconscious level, he’s attracted to her.

A

Reaction formation

22
Q

DEFENSE MECHANISMS

people can redirect their unacceptable
urges onto a variety of people or objects
so that the original impulse is disguised
or concealed.

ex: A man who has had a bad day at the office, comes home and yells at his wife and children, is displacing his anger from the workplace onto his family.

A

Displacement

23
Q

DEFENSE MECHANISMS

When the prospect of taking
the next step becomes too anxiety
provoking, the ego may resort to the
strategy of remaining at the present,
more comfortable psychological stage.

ex: A grown-up throwing a tantrum under stress is a good example of fixation.

A

Fixation

24
Q

DEFENSE MECHANISMS

Once the libido has passed a
developmental stage, it may, during
times of stress and anxiety, revert back
to that earlier stage.

ex: A young wife, for example, might retreat to the security of her parents’ home after her first quarrel with her husband.

A

Regression

25
Q

DEFENSE MECHANISMS

whereby people incorporate positive
qualities of another person into their
own ego.

ex: a dad telling his son “boys don’t cry”- this is an idea that a person might take in from their environment and internalize into their way of thinking.

A

Introjection

26
Q

DEFENSE MECHANISMS

  • is the repression of the
    genital aim of Eros by substituting a
    cultural or social aim.

redirecting negative feelings or impulses into positive ones.

ex: someone with anger issues may channel their aggressive urges into sports instead of lashing out at others physically or verbally

A

Sublimation

27
Q

DEFENSE MECHANISMS

When an internal impulse provokes too
much anxiety, the ego may reduce that
anxiety by attributing the unwanted
impulse to an external object, usually
another person.
as seeing in others unacceptable feelings
or tendencies that actually reside in
one’s own unconscious

ex: a woman who has been unfaithful to her husband but who accuses her husband of cheating on her.

A

Projection

Problems with early feeding through neglect and abuse can lead to adults who seek
to complete their missing oral gratification by being dependent on others, smoking

demanding, and upset as they constantly expect their needs to be coddled-
