Identify and Describe 2 different examples of Freudian Defense Mechanisms (e.g., projection, reaction formation, sublimation, repression, displacement or any other Defense mechanism) found in fiction (books, movies, TV shows) or non-fiction (the real world). The 3 examples can come from TV, Movies, Books, News Articles, and Current or Historical Events. • The 2 examples should each reflect a different Defense Mechanism (e.g., you can’t give me 2 examples of Reaction Formation). Thus, you will have 2 examples total, each describing a different D.M. • For both examples: • Explain how the real life or fictional example relates to the specific defense mechanism. Specifically, for each example you need to separately: 1. Explain the situation. What is the content and context that lead to the use of the D.M.? In other words, explain in detail the individual’s behavior, thinking, and/or emotion that illustrates the D.M. i. Note: Assume I have never heard of the example you are using, so walk me through it. 2. How was the defense mechanism used? Here you need to define the D.M. found in the example and explain how the example from Question 1 relates to the defense mechanism (i.e., how does the example reflect the D.M.?). 3. Analyze if the D.M. was effective. First, did the D.M. reduce or relieve anxiety/internal conflicts in the short term? Next, predict any possible long term implications for the current or continued use of the D.M. for the character in your example.
