Defense mechanisms
उत्तर
According to Sigmund Freud, most of human behaviour reflects an attempt to deal with or to escape from anxiety. Defense Mechanisms are unconscious strategies used to protect the Ego from disintegration due to anxiety or harsh reality. They act as a face-saving device or shock absorber and distort reality. However, excessive use of defense mechanisms should be avoided as it leads to habitual escaping from reality and indulgence in falsehoods about one's self.
The commonly used defense mechanisms are:
- Repression
- Displacement
- Projection
- Sublimation
- Identification
- Daydreaming (fantasy)
- Rationalization
