- A client fired for chronic tardiness tells a friend, 'I didn't want that job anyway because the commute was terrible.'Rationalization
Cevap
The aggressive client boxing demonstrates Sublimation. The resentful client acting overly protective demonstrates Reaction formation. The 7-year-old sucking their thumb demonstrates Regression. The fired client blaming the commute demonstrates Rationalization.
Each defense mechanism has a distinct clinical presentation. Sublimation turns negative energy into positive actions. Reaction formation turns unacceptable feelings into their exact opposite expressions. Regression involves falling back to childhood coping behaviors under severe stress. Rationalization creates self-serving, logical-sounding excuses to protect the ego from harsh realities.
