Question- Explain in detail the type of defense mechanism, armor or defense device.

Answer-

The following are the non-creations or defense tips which are as follows:

(1) Sublimation : This human creation has a prominent place in the solution of the inner conflict of the individual. It can also be clarified in this way that the act of redirection of sex force or motivators towards moral, cultural and social issues is called sublimation. Through this, the individual satisfies his immoral motivations according to the accepted objectives of the society. According to Coleman : "Sublimation is a means of frustrated sexual power by which this power is converted into partially substituted activities. Its kind of redirection. The behaviour related to this human creation is not accepted by the society, unconscious conflicts are resolved through creative actions. In short it is called - Flight to creative world."

(2) Displacement : In displacement psychology, a person transfers his thoughts and desires from the persons or substances to which he is verbally related to other persons of substances. According to Coleman : "In displacement, the symbolic meaning associated with a person or an object is removed and transferred to another person or things."

(3) Projection : Through this, mental creation, a person attributes the shortcoming to others and feels pleasure by imposing them. Such a strong tendency is seen in such person in which the development of the supreme ego is very rigid. Such person does not accept their immoral and sensual desires themselves and imposes them on other people. According to Paze : "Projection is to see one's feelings and traits in others or to impose anothers."

According to Coleman : "Projection is an anthropomorphism by which individuals blame their difficulties on others."

Ex : When a student who fails in the class he says that the test is not good.

(4) Repression : As a result of the process of repression, various sad thoughts and desires move from the conscious to the unconscious without the knowledge of the person.

According to Coleman : "Repression is that anthropomorphism by which deadly desires, intolerable memories etc. are separated from the conscious."

The term repression was first used by Freud. According to him, painful desires and memories are expelled from the conscious remain automatically or without effort. This repressed material becomes the permanent oblivion of the person. This material reaches in the unconscious mind.

(5) Identification : Under this psychoanalysis, a person is influenced by someone else's personality and tries to mold himself according to his personality. According to Brown : "Under this a person tries to mold his ego or personality in the personality mold of other or he starts considering the personality of others or his own." In this human creation a person tries or makes a lot of effort to make his behaviour his actions or himself according to another person. In other words when we imitate a person's dress, then by imitating his manner of speech or hairstyle, he begins to understand his stuff. So this is called identification.

(6) Rationalization : Under this anthropomorphism a person gives false reasons and reactions to justify his point of view. Ex. : Teacher accused of not teaching in case of not passing. According to Coleman : "What the person has done in this human creation, the does is the doer. He tries to justify it by giving good reasoning about it."

(7) Suppression : It is the mental psychic formation by which a person deliberately throws out unpleasant, sad and painful events, desires and thoughts from the unconsciousness.

(8) Interojection : When a person incorporates the qualities of the environment into his personality. So it is called - interojection. Ex. : Like feeling sad in someone else's misery.

(9) Regression : According to Coleman : "When a person takes the help of less mature responses to maintain the ego and to overcome the corrective situations, this process is called regression."

(10) Compensation : Under this human creation, or a person converts unwanted traits into desirable traits. Through this a person protects himself from the symptoms of his inferiority and unsuitability.
