|
|
Instead of saying, “I’m angry with you,” a person who acts out may instead throw a book at the person, or punch a hole through a wall. When a person acts out, it can act as a pressure release, and often helps the individual feel calmer and peaceful once again. For instance, a child’s temper tantrum is a form of acting out when he or she doesn’t get his or her way with a parent. Self-injury may also be a form of acting-out, expressing in physical pain what one cannot stand to feel emotionally.
|
Acting Out
|
|
Failing to recognize obvious implications or consequences of a thought, act, or situation. Examples: (1) a person having an extramarital affair gives no thought to the possibility of pregnancy. (2) persons living near a volcano disregard the dangers involved. (3) a disabled person plans to return to former activities without planning a realistic program of rehabilitation.
|
Denial:
|
|
A change in the object by which an instinctual drive is to be satisfied; shifting the emotional component from one object or idea to another. Examples: (1) a woman is abandoned by her fiance’; she quickly finds another man about whom she develops the same feelings; (2) a salesman is angered by his superior but suppresses his anger; later, on return to his home, he punishes one of his children for misbehavior that would usually be tolerated or ignored.
|
Displacement:
|
|
Splitting-off a group of thoughts or activities from the main portion of consciousness; compartmentalization. Example: a politician works vigorously for integrity in government, but at the same time engages in a business venture involving a conflict of interest without being consciously hypocritical and seeing no connection between the two activities.
|
Dissociation:
|
|
Overestimation of the desirable qualities and underestimation of the limitations of a desired object. Examples: (1) a lover speaks in glowing terms of the beauty and intelligence of an average-looking woman who is not very bright. (2) a purchaser, having finally decided between two items, expounds upon the advantages of the one chosen.
|
Idealization:
|
|
Similar to introjection, but of less intensity and completeness. The unconscious modeling of one's self upon another person. One may also identify with values and attitudes of a group. Examples: (1) without being aware that he is copying his teacher, a resident physician assumes a similar mode of dress and manner with patients. (2) a school girl wants her mother to buy her the same kind of shoes her classmates are wearing; she angrily rejects the idea that she is trying to be like the other girls and insists that the shoes are truly the best available and are the style she has always wanted. Conscious analogs of identification are intentional imitation of others and volitional efforts to conform to a group.
|
Identification:
|
|
The individual deals with emotional conflict or internal or external stressors by the excessive use of abstract thinking or the making of generalizations to control or minimize disturbing feelings.
|
Intellectualization:
|
|
The process of assimilation of the picture of an object (as the individual conceives the object to be). For example, when a person becomes depressed due to the loss of a loved one, his feelings are directed to the mental image he possesses of the loved one.
|
Introjection:
|
|
The splitting-off of the emotional components from a thought. Example: a medical student dissects a cadaver without being disturbed by thoughts of death. Isolation may be temporary (affect postponement). Example: a bank teller appears calm and cool while frustrating a robbery but afterward is tearful and tremulous.
The mechanism of isolation is commonly over utilized by obsessive compulsives. |
Isolation:
|
|
Attributing one's thoughts or impulses to another person. In common use, this is limited to unacceptable or undesirable impulses. Examples: (1) a man, unable to accept that he has competitive or hostile feelings about an acquaintance, says, “He doesn’t like me.” (2) a woman, denying to herself that she has sexual feelings about a co-worker, accuses him, without basis, of flirt and described him as a “wolf.”
This defense mechanism is commonly over utilized by the paranoid. A broader definition of projection includes certain operations that allow for empathy and understanding of others. Recognition that another person is lonely or sad may be based not upon having seen other examples of loneliness or sadness and learning the outward manifestations but upon having experienced the feelings and recognizing automatically that another person’s situation would evoke them. [projective identification] |
Projection:
|
|
Offering a socially acceptable and apparently more or less logical explanation for an act or decision actually produced by unconscious impulses. The person rationalizing is not intentionally inventing a story to fool someone else, but instead is misleading self as well as the listener. Examples: (1) a man buys a new car, having convinced himself that his older car won't make it through the winter. (2) a woman with a closet full of dresses buys a new one because she doesn't have anything to wear.
|
Rationalization:
|
|
Going to the opposite extreme; overcompensation for unacceptable impulses.Examples: (1) a man violently dislikes an employee; without being aware of doing so, he "bends overbackwards" to not criticize the employee and gives him special privileges and advances. (2) a person with strong antisocial impulses leads a crusade against vice. (3) a married woman who is disturbed by feeling attracted to one of her husband's friends treats him rudely.
Intentional efforts to compensate for conscious dislikes and prejudices are sometimes analogous to this mechanism. |
Reaction Formation:
|
|
By another anxiety-evading mechanism known as regression, the personality may suffer a loss of some of the development already attained and may revert to a lower level of adaptation and expression.
|
Regression:
|
|
The involuntary exclusion of a painful or conflictual thought, impulse, or memory from awareness. This is the primary ego defense mechanism; others reinforce it.
|
Repression:
|
|
Conflicts are represented by physical symptoms involving parts of the body innervated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic system. Example: a highly competitive and aggressive person, whose life situation requires that such behavior be restricted, develops hypertension.
|
Somatization:
|
|
This term is widely used today to explain the coexistence within the ego of contradictory states, representative of self and others, as well as attitudes to self and others; other individuals or the self is perceived as "All good or all bad.
|
Splitting:
|
|
Attenuating the force of an instinctual drive by using the energy in other, usually constructive activities. This definition implies acceptance of the Libido Theory; the examples do not require it. Sublimation is often combined with other mechanisms, among them aim inhibition, displacement, and symbolization. Examples: (1) a man who is dissatisfied with his sex life but who has not stepped out on his wife becomes very busy repairing his house while his wife is out of town. Thus, he has no time for social activities. (2) a woman is forced to undertake a restrictive diet; she becomes interested in painting and does a number of still life pictures, most of which include fruit.
The conscious use of work or hobbies to divert one’s thoughts from a problem or from a rejected wish is an analog of this. Sublimation is often a desirable mechanism. However, the consequences may, in addition to preventing instinctual satisfaction, interfere with the person's life in other ways if disproportionate time, money, or effort is used in the activity. |
Sublimation:
|
|
Through this defense mechanism, the individual secures alternative or substitutive gratification comparable to those that would have been employed had frustration not occurred.

For the first year of life, the
child learns that the world is a trustworthy place and that he or she is also trustworthy. Failure to achieve this end leaves the developing child with a sense of insecurity and an inability to trust others. |
Basic trust vs. basic mistrust
|
|
From about ages 1 to 3, the
developing nervous system affords the opportunity to walk, retain feces, and exert all sorts of self-control. The child can practice leaving mother and returning. But these attempts are not always successful, and failures can lead to self-doubt and shame. |
Autonomy vs. shame and doubt—
|
|
From about ages 3 to 6, the growing child
attempts to exert influence and follow the leads of curiosity, using his or her budding cognitive and motor skills. The 58 PSYCHODYNAMIC THEORY FOR CLINICIANS 79949_Ch003.qxd 4/20/05 12:08 AM Page 58 social environment is, however, becoming increasingly important, and when the child violates rules, he or she may feel guilt about the transgression. Of course, this life crisis is exactly contemporary with Freud’s Oedipal period. The desire to possess mother and to annihilate father are manifestations of initiative, and the superego, born at this time, is the structural container for guilt. Erikson redefines the essential dynamics of the Oedipal drama to put a greater focus on the role of the social environment. |

He or she will seek to excel at sports, school, or other childhood endeavors. The reward is the satisfaction of accomplishment and success. The risk is failure; the child who is benched at softball or who scores a “C” on a math test may learn to feel inferior. |
Industry vs. inferiority—
|
|
During puberty and adolescence,
the teen is asking, “Who am I?” and constantly revising the answer. A common solution during these years is to assert one’s independence by acting, dressing, and talking like everyone else in one’s peer group. Identification is an important tool for establishing identity, but it raises the threat of diffusing that sense of individuality. |
Identity vs. identity diffusion—
|
|
In young adulthood, the task is to
attain a sense of emotional, sexual, and spiritual maturity with a view toward social responsibility. But intimacy carries risks. People are often hurt in trying to establish closeness with others, and if they fail to adapt successfully, they may be inclined to retreat into emotional isolation. |
Intimacy vs. isolation—
|
|
Middle age is marked by a
different kind of questioning, centering on one’s place in the larger scheme of life. Generativity is a sense of living on through succeeding generations without becoming overly involved. At the opposite pole is a view that one’s life is completely self-contained and finite. Most often, this crisis is played out in raising one’s children, but generativity can be accomplished through philanthropy, teaching, entrepreneurship, or other avenues. |
Generativity vs. self-absorption
|
|
In the closing phase of life, one ideally
comes to a sense of balance between owning responsibility for his or her choices and accepting the fate that one has been dealt. Erkison’s descriptions of integrity, drawn from observations across cultures, render a richly-textured view of spiritual connections with past and future. The task of achieving this goal is daunting and one is threatened with a sense of futility and isolation in the face of impending mortality. |

Sensori-motor (Birth-2 yrs)
|
Differentiates self from objects
Recognises self as agent of action and begins to act intentionally: e.g. pulls a string to set mobile in motion or shakes a rattle to make a noise Achieves object permanence: realises that things continue to exist even when no longer present to the sense |
|
Pre-operational
(2-7 years) |
Learns to use language and to represent objects by images and words
Thinking is still egocentric: has difficulty taking the viewpoint of others Classifies objects by a single feature: e.g. groups together all the red blocks regardless of shape or all the square blocks regardless of colour |
|
Concrete operational
(7-11 years) |
Can think logically about objects and events
Achieves conservation of number (age 6), mass (age 7), and weight (age 9) Classifies objects according to several features and can order them in series along a single dimension such as size. |
|
Formal operational
(11 years and up) |
Can think logically about abstract propositions and test hypotheses systemtically
Becomes concerned with the hypothetical, the future, and ideological problems |
|
egocentric during this stage, that is, he sees things pretty much from one point of view: his own!
|
Preoperational stage
|
|
there is a clear understanding of past and future. for example, if a child is crying for its mother, and you say “Mommy will be home soon,” it will now tend to stop crying. Or if you ask him, “Remember when you fell down?” he will respond by making a sad face.
|
Preoperational stage
|
|
begin to develop object permanence
|
The sensorimotor stage
|
|
By seven or eight years old, children develop conservation of substance: If I take a ball of clay and roll it into a long thin rod, or even split it into ten little pieces, the child knows that there is still the same amount of clay. And he will know that, if you rolled it all back into a single ball, it would look quite the same as it did -- a feature known as reversibility.
