Original text

Any information from the outside world, being rejected by consciousness, enters the unconscious. Such protective mechanisms include such forms and methods of protection as: 1. Channeling aggression onto other people (in verbal or behavioral form) speaks of a hidden feeling of guilt.2. Repression is the pushing out of consciousness of painful memories, feelings, impulses. 3. Denial - deliberately ignoring painful realities and acting as if they do not exist.4. Formation of a reaction (with obsessive-compulsive neurosis) is an exaggeration of one emotional aspect of a situation in order to use it to suppress the opposite emotion. For example, to be extremely punctual, but in fact the desire to be free.5. Transfer (transfer, movement) - a change in the object of feelings (transfer from a real, but subjectively dangerous object to a subjectively safe one). For example, the Japanese used this psychological defense in the invention of whipping dolls that replaced the boss.6. The opposite feeling is a change in impulse, turning it from active into passive (and vice versa). Or a change in its direction (to oneself from another, or to another from oneself), for example, sadism - can turn into masochism and vice versa.7. Suppression (phobias) - limiting thoughts or actions in order to avoid those that can cause anxiety and fears. This psychological protection gives rise to various personal rituals (an exam amulet, certain clothes for self-confidence, etc.).8. Identification with the aggressor (imitation) - imitation of what is understood as the aggressive manner of external authority. Children criticizing their parents in their own aggressive manner. Asceticism is denying yourself pleasures with an air of superiority.9. Intellectualization, rationalization - excessive reasoning as a way of experiencing conflicts, long discussion (without experiencing the affect associated with the conflict), a “rational” explanation of the reasons for what happened, which in fact has nothing to do with a rational explanation.10. Isolation of affect - suppression of feelings associated with a particular thought.11. Regression is a return to an early age (crying, helplessness, smoking, alcohol and other infantile reactions). 12. Sublimation is the transfer of one type of energy into another: sex - into creativity; aggression - into political activity.13. Splitting is the separation of positive and negative in the images of “I” and objects. A sharp change in “+” and “-” assessments of oneself and others is an unrealistic and unstable assessment. “+” and “-” coexist separately, but in parallel. 14. Devaluation - reducing what is important to a minimum and contemptuously denying it.15. Primitive idealization is an exaggeration of the power and prestige of another person.16. Omnipotence is an exaggeration of one's own strength.17. Projection is the endowment of one’s own conflicting or any other impulses to another person.18. Projective identification is a projection onto some person over whom the person then tries to establish control. Projecting your hostility onto others and expecting the same from them.19. Repression - suppression of desires.20. Escapism is avoidance of the goal of a situation. This can manifest itself literally, i.e. Behaviorally, a person can physically run away from a situation (from communication, from a meeting), or maybe indirectly - avoid certain topics of conversation.21. Autism is a deep withdrawal into oneself (exit from the “game of life”).22. Reactive education is the replacement of behavior or feeling with the opposite behavior or feeling as a reaction to severe stress.23. Introjection is the uncritical assimilation of other people's beliefs and attitudes.24. Fanaticism is an imaginary fusion of the desired and the actual.
