DEFENSE MECHANISMS
Ways people deal with stresses in
their lives.
Used to try to solve problems, hide
or counterbalance feelings or
actions.
do not usually get rid of the
problem, and are often negative
or not a very effective way to deal
with stress.
1. Direct Attack: recognize the heart
of the problem
• Work to solve the problem
• The goals must be realistic
Ex. “If I look at this realistically,
I can set my goals and overcome
this problem”
2. Sublimation: redirecting bad or
unacceptable behavior/emotions into
positive behavior.
• We sublimate the desire to fight into
the ritualistic activities of formal
competition.
Ex. When I’m angry, I box at the gym.
3.Daydreaming: escaping from
an unpleasant situation by
using your imagination.
• Living in a fantasy world
Ex. “I love animals so much, so even if
I fail biology, I can still be a
veterinarian”
4. Denial: failure to accept
reality.
Ex. “This is not happening. It
can’t happen to me.”
5. Displacement: the transfer of
negative emotions from one person
or thing to an unrelated person or
thing.
Ex. “I did so poorly on my SAT, I’ll
just go home and kick my dog.”
6. Projection: Blame other people or
things for your failure
• Use a scapegoat
Ex. “It’s my math teacher’s fault I failed
the test”
7. Regression: using childlike
ways for expressing emotions.
Ex. Crying, name calling, throwing
things, swearing.
9. Repression: Burying a painful feeling or
thoughts from your awareness though it
may resurface in symbolic form
Ex. A little girl’s memory of being molested
when she was a toddler might become a
repressed memory. The little girl will
completely forget about this experience,
until the memory might resurface years
later.
10. Rationalization: Creating false
but plausible excuses to justify
unacceptable behavior
Ex. A student stealing money from a wealthy
friend of his, telling himself “Well he is rich,
he can afford to lose it.”
12.Compensation: people overachieve in
one area to compensate for failures in
another
Ex. Becoming good at a sport to
overcome insecurities in other areas.
