History

History Of Defense Mechanisms

Invented by Sigmund Freud
Influenced by Sigmund Freuds daughter
Sigmund Freud (1894, 1896) noted a number of ego
defenses which he refers to throughout his written works.
His daughter Anna (1937) developed these ideas and
elaborated on them, adding five of her own. Many
psychoanalysts have also added further types of ego
defenses.

 Sigmund Freud divides the defense mechanisms into 8

different categories.
Those mechanisms are repression, Reaction formation,
displacement, fixation, regression, projection, sublimation
and many others.

 Sigmund Freud and Anna

Type of Defense

Repression
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

Sublimation
The sublimated aim is
expressed most obviously
in creative
cultural accomplishments
such as art, music, and
literature, but more subtly,
it is part
of all human relationships
and all social pursuits

Conclusion
O Defense mechanisms depends on how id, ego, and

superego works. It also works differently as the

personality of each person may differ from the
others. Therefore we should be aware and
sensitive to those defense mechanisms, so we can
act correctly to those defense reaction.
