1. DEFENSE MECHANISMS EXAMPLES
1. Repression: for example, the inability to remember the reason for an
argument or recall feelings of fear following an automobile accident.
2. Suppression: "I had rather not talk about it right now "Let us talk about my
accident later" etc.
3. Rationalization: for example, a teenage girl who was not asked to the junior
prom might tell her friend someone really wanted to date her but felt sorry for
Sue and took her to the prom instead.
4. Identification (the imitator) for Example from no were you also start practice
the meme of fufu veve imbombo in the weldi
5. Sublimation for example, a college student who has hostile feelings may
rechannel them by joining the debating team.
6. Displacement: for example, a person might disagree at his boss but instead
picks a fight with his wife or his children when he is back at home.
7. Compensation: for example, a short girl may become the manager of the girl's
basketball team because she is not tall enough to qualify for the team, or an
unattractive man may select expensive, stylish cloths to draw attention to himself
or an unattractive woman may dress like a fashion plate to attract attention.
8. Introjection: An example would be a psychiatric patient who claims to be
Mosses or Jesus Christ or other biblical or well known person, who is observed
dressing and acting like the personage they profess to be. One patient who
claimed to be Moses grew a beard and long hair, wore a blanket and sandals and
read his bible daily. He refused to participate in activities unless he was called
Moses.
9. Projection Examples would be: a man who is late for work states, "my wife
forget to get the alarm last night so I overslept" or after spilling a glass of milk
while playing cards with a friend, a 10-year- old tells his mother, "my brother
made me spill the milk. He told me to hurry up and play."

2. 10. Regression: for example, a 5 year old boy who previously was toilet trained
and who becomes incontinent when his mother gives birth for a new baby in
order to get attention like a newly born baby.
11. Conversion: Examples would be an elderly woman who experiences sudden
blindness after witnessing a robbery or a middle-aged who man develops
paralysis of his lower extremities after he learns that his wife has terminal cancer.
12. Reaction formation (overcompensation): Examples would be a young man
who dislikes his mother-in-law who acts very polite and courteous towards her, a
woman who hates children may talk very lovingly to a friend's young son, or a
man, who has a strong desire to drink alcohol who condemns the use of alcohol
by others.
13. Undoing or restitution: An example would be a young man sends flowers to
his fiancee after he embraced her friend at a cocktail party.
14. Denial: for example, a student who is persistently late for a scheduled class
because that student is actually very fearful of the topic, so he/she expresses the
fear by being absent from the class, or a person who has just been admitted to a
mental hospital states "I am really not sick, I am just in here to get a rest"
15. Substitution: for example, a student nurse in a baccalaureate program who
decides she is unable to master the clinical competencies and elects to become a
laboratory technician is using the mechanism of substitution
16. Fantasy: for example, in a popular television soap opera, a young woman
character who does not have a child fantasizes she has a child, as she sits in a
rocking chair, holding a baby doll, and singing lullabies.
17. Symbolization for example, the engagement ring symbolizes love and a
commitment to another person, wearing a white wedding gown generally
symbolizes the bride's purity or chastity.
18. Isolation for example, an oncologist is able to care for a terminally ill cancer
patient by separating or isolating his feelings or emotional reaction to the
patient's inevitable death. He focuses on the treatment, not the prognosis.

3. 19. Dissociation for example, a women who was raped was found wondering
busy high way in torn, disheveled clothing. When examined by the emergency
room physician, the woman was exhibiting symptoms of traumatic amnesia. She
separated and detached her emotional reaction to the rape from her
consciousness.
20. Intellectualization: for example, a young man may use intellectualization
as method of avoiding confrontation with his fiance if she changed her mind
about wishing to marry him.
