It's to Anna Freud we owe the genius term 'defensiveness' to describe how most of us get some of the time.

Anna Freud enumerated the ten defence mechanisms that appear in the works of Sigmund Freud: 1. Repression, 2. Regression, 3. Reaction formation, 4. Isolation, 5. Undoing, 6. Projection, 7. Introjection, 8. Turning against one’s own person, 9. Reversal into the opposite, 10. Sublimation or displacement. But fantasy, humor, altruism, anticipatio, intellectualization and other defence mechanisms were described later on by their followers.

Just hours before seeing this video I was introduced to Anna Freud by an acquaintance of mine. He was talking about his upbringing and the weight imposed upon him by his eminent parents, one of which was a child psychologist. At a party they held Anna was present and questioned this acquaintance of mine on what it was like to be born of a family of such high esteem. He said, 'If you can't beat them, join them.' Slightly impertinent story, but what a coincidence that I discover so much about this figure in a single day!

I think many of these ‘defence mechanisms’ can be used in a positive way to reinforce the strength of the ego so the person has the energy to focus and accomplish what s/he needs to. For example regression to a childhood emotion of a laughing for no reason, for the mere joy of release, can help one keep a positive mood.

Fantasy and day dreaming are essential components to most creative writers. I wouldn't want to correct these two things, because I'm a writer. In a perfect world, fantasy prone personalities wouldn't affect our careers, because they would be writing or drawing instead.

@spencerstewart8604 9 жыл бұрын

Sara Kjeldsen Hi Sara. I agree that many artists use art to avoid issues of their life. However, I think that the most meaningful and enduring art encourages us to look at our own issues squarely. Art that acknowledges the human experience faithfully is cathartic, and not art that idealizes the human experience. I think theres a split in the creative world, in literature for example, between work that encourages escapism and work that encourages acceptance. Would you agree?

@kierkiboy 8 жыл бұрын

+Spencer Stewart You're misinterpreting the problem of Fantasy, it's different from Sublimation. That's the one that puts you're problems in your work. Fantasy on the other hand just ignores you're problems, not by denying their existence but by concealing them in giant fake world's. Like someone who's an extreme World of Warcraft player because he is to afraid to meet new people.

@spencerstewart8604 8 жыл бұрын

Hi +Ljubisa Metikos Thank you for your input! I am aware of the distinction you bring up, that of sublimation vs. fantasy. In my reply to Sara Kjeldsen's comment I was trying to make the distinction between someone who pathologically fantasizes (the type of person described by Anna Freud, as well as you with your World of Warcraft example) and a writer who, as you say, sublimates their problems into literature. Thanks again for your thoughts.

I'll be honest, intellectualism kind of went over my head a little. Does that mean thinking about "bigger issues" to avoid confronting your problems, minimising your issues by putting them in comparison with things that are considered "smarter" or "intellectual" on a larger scale, or learning new things as a means of emotional procrastination?

@Slechy_Lesh 7 жыл бұрын

I'd say 1 and 3. The second one sounds too conscious

@astridlunden498 7 жыл бұрын

I'd say it is a way of dealing with a problem we can't handle or understand, by turning it into something more logical, that we can learn about or solve in a logical way. When we make something purely intellectual, we are able to distance ourselves from the emotional side of the problem, and won't have to deal with unpleasant emotions.

I just had a though: These are things we all probably have suffered from. But I wonder if we should actively try to change them. I'm taking the example of the sixth phase (Rationalisation): We did not get the job we wanted and consolate our selves by saying that the company was a boring one or that we didn't want the job anyway. What I always say to myself to make me feel better is that the job wasn't for me and that there is a better job out there waiting for me. I think that is actually a good thing because after you've failed at something (getting that job) you're still happy or satisfied with yourself. Should I start making some changes and accept that I was just not good enough for that job? I think that would make me unhappier. What do you guys think?
