I am working on my paper and this information helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@PsychExamReview]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sarasalah4745]

Helpful and concise👍🏽

[@mattgarner1109]

I propose that language and verbal speaking is a defense mechanism. It creates structure and order, words have symbolic meaning and provide some sense of certainty that the mind can cling to in order to have some subjective sense of control. A cognitive countermeasure to the limbic system.

[@Ostipherous]

Very interesting perspective. You may be on to something.

[@harrietchumba8064]

[@User-np5jc]

Which book are you using? Very well explained!

[@PsychExamReview]

Thanks! These videos follow the content of a psychology guidebook I've written titled "Master Introductory Psychology", which is available on Amazon: amzn.to/48N29Xl

[@roxrocks7023]

my sister is Very Defensive. Can see her in almost the specific points you discussed. makes it hard to hold a healthy conversation with her.

[@rakibtonmoy242]

Can I assume that this theory is somewhat logical and is this theory accepted in contemporary psychology? Is it valid?

[@maithlinair7161]

so what’s the difference between projection and displacement when in both cases the individual re directs attention elsewhere?

[@PsychExamReview]

Projection is more about attributing to others thoughts or feelings that you hold (like accusing someone of not liking you instead of recognizing you don't like them) while displacement is redirecting your actions away from the actual source to something less threatening (such as yelling at children instead of your boss when angry due to work, or slamming a door instead of hitting the person who made you upset). Hope this helps!

[@nagarajchillakur3345]

Very helpful. Could you please tell me the book title that has complete information about Defense Mechanisms??

[@PsychExamReview]

Sure, these defense mechanisms were first compiled by Anna Freud, Sigmund Freud's daughter, in her book "The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence". You can find more about the book on its Amazon page here: amzn.to/3ckkqgj

Although I was able to follow, you seem to talk really fast.

[@trifergd]

I'm taking Psychology 1A and I really enjoyed hearing your descriptive and comprehensible ways of explaining this concept to me. Very clear examples, Thank You.

[@MichaelIgnat]

Easy to understand and very helpful

[@sandyellis6068]

Thank you. I’m especially interested in understanding these defence mechanisms in relation to cult members. Why the stay, and why they can remain stagnant even after they leave.

[@PsychExamReview]

In that case you might also be interested in theories related to cognitive dissonance. There's a book "When Prophecy Fails" which describes how a few researchers infiltrated a doomsday cult to try to understand the thought processes of the members, which I describe briefly in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3LJiKmJas6Xqck

[@cheskajoyce541]

I've had a hard time comprehending this for a long time but your video made it pretty clear to me in no time. Thank you for your explanation.

"According to freud" 😅

[@joshq2151]

Is compartmentalization another way to describe repression?

[@PsychExamReview]

Compartmentalization is a different proposed defense mechanism. It's more about keeping conflicting thoughts isolated from one another, though both may still be able to be brought into consciousness. This is different from repression which would make the thoughts unconscious. Hope this helps!

[@maisyunmunia8170]

Sir the term "projection" anyhow reminds me the word used several times in the movie "inception" while defensing against extraction. Can we just relate those terms in reality? Or toatally different?

[@PsychExamReview]

The use of the term in the film is fictional and isn't directly related to the defense mechanism, but it does demonstrate that a lot of psychoanalytic-sounding terms are common in popular culture when describing psychological ideas. So it's common to see terms like defense mechanism, repression, denial, complexes, ego, subconscious, etc. used in tv and film, even if the use doesn't match the original meaning or theory.

Hello can u give me some example of deni and reaction formation

[@PsychExamReview]

Sure, denial refers to denying the existence of the thoughts that cause anxiety, while reaction formation refers to having the opposite thoughts of those that cause anxiety. A simple real-life example might be a young boy not admitting to himself that he likes a girl in his class (denial) or claiming that he hates her or that she is ugly (reaction formation). Of course, these examples are just to illustrate the Freudian concepts, not meant to be modern psychological explanations of behavior :)
