Defense mechanisms Freuds defense mechanisms

Defense mechanisms Freuds defense mechanisms

Based on our class discussion and your textbook, try to think of a situation when you have responded in a way that reflects one of Freud’s defense mechanisms.

Describe the situation and try to explain how aware you were at the time that you were not directly facing the source of your anxiety or facing the true problem.

Try to dry a conclusion about just how well your situation fit the defense mechanism the Freud described or whether it fits the “more contemporary” view about defense mechanisms that your instructor described in class.

Your final paper should be about 2 pages.
