She described human behaviour

"You're getting a bit defensive." "NO I'M NOT!"

"Upon my back, to defend my belly; upon my wit, to defend my wiles; upon my secrecy, to defend mine honesty; my mask, to defend my beauty." So if I understood it properly, this is what Shakespeare has to say on the subject! ( In Troilus and Cressida). Thanks a lot for the great lesson! And a very happy new year to whoever who reads this!

Wow! I like this video. Never heard of Anna Freud until now. Didn't know the names of these behaviours or how they are linked either. A fascinating insight into the conflicts with ourselves and with the world around us.

I agree, I never heard of her either.

Anna Freud enumerated the ten defence mechanisms that appear in the works of Sigmund Freud: 1. Repression, 2. Regression, 3. Reaction formation, 4. Isolation, 5. Undoing, 6. Projection, 7. Introjection, 8. Turning against one’s own person, 9. Reversal into the opposite, 10. Sublimation or displacement. But fantasy, humor, altruism, anticipatio, intellectualization and other defence mechanisms were described later on by their followers.

Just hours before seeing this video I was introduced to Anna Freud by an acquaintance of mine. He was talking about his upbringing and the weight imposed upon him by his eminent parents, one of which was a child psychologist. At a party they held Anna was present and questioned this acquaintance of mine on what it was like to be born of a family of such high esteem. He said, 'If you can't beat them, join them.' Slightly impertinent story, but what a coincidence that I discover so much about this figure in a single day!

I found this extremely valuable.

I'll be honest, intellectualism kind of went over my head a little. Does that mean thinking about "bigger issues" to avoid confronting your problems, minimising your issues by putting them in comparison with things that are considered "smarter" or "intellectual" on a larger scale, or learning new things as a means of emotional procrastination?

I'd say it is a way of dealing with a problem we can't handle or understand, by turning it into something more logical, that we can learn about or solve in a logical way. When we make something purely intellectual, we are able to distance ourselves from the emotional side of the problem, and won't have to deal with unpleasant emotions.

Riku Pakarinen I think you did not get my point too. Im asking whether or not its normal, having no defense mechanism at all.

I think many of these ‘defence mechanisms’ can be used in a positive way to reinforce the strength of the ego so the person has the energy to focus and accomplish what s/he needs to. For example regression to a childhood emotion of a laughing for no reason, for the mere joy of release, can help one keep a positive mood.

I really apreciate these videos. They are very well made and interesting.

Anarchy Pony Hello. I feel very happy for you that you seem to find these videos helpful, however, I would advise consulting with a psychoanalyst.

DEFENSCHE MECHANISMS ARE GOOD, change my mind. Loosing all the defence mechanisms would not be pretty... It would mean the ego failed its purpose, which is to create a sensical picture of who you are, to yourself. You would lose your sense of self and probably become depressed and disoriented. Anyone agree/disagree please feel free to reply

firstly, remove the guilt. this is done through self-acceptance. plain and simple, my friend, there is nothing wrong with you. intellectualism and fantasies are antithetical in nature, one relates to the ego the other to the affective self. it's okay to have two minds in opposition to one another -- everyone is that way. these parts are simply your mind and your feelings. unconsciously you realize that both parts of you simply seek resolve. just forgive, truly forgive, and all your pain will vanish. love is something that is capable of altering time (because it is transdimensional); so *really* take the time to spend time in deep contemplation and acceptance of yourself. in a higher light, you will cease to suffer, because you will know your true Identity. do not imagine that this event of total acceptance is in the future. the only place you will free yourself is now. the ego loves to say that resolve is in the future. but that's a trick, an illusion. your affective self, on the other hand, can know peace in this very moment. what else could wish for yourself? forget everything you think you know, and make yourself ready to really discover. you're gonna need to close your eyes to do that, and to dream. you can put your intellectual self on your left side and your affective self on your right side, and allow them to communicate while you're not looking. But because you sought for an answer means that it will be found. Only those who do not ask will never realize. You are farther ahead than you may recognize. Good luck!

4:38 is actually quite disturbing if you think about it..

This video actually does her father an injustice. Sigmund coined most (if not all) of these defence mechanisms. Strange the video dosn't acknowledge this.

I think detachment could be a defensive mechanism. Where you mentally check out and stop caring for what it's happening.

I see other people complaining about your biased look at Anna Freud, yet I feel that they discredit her and her father too much. Many of their theories have been disproven, or are just not of relevance in modern pshycoanalysis. Still, their discoveries have been taken up and thus been developed into the foundation of the field itself, so they are by no means insignificant. Still, you should really show more sides of the story and add some disclaimers. It's not as punchy of an effect, but then life is complicated, and schools can't fix your life all by themselves.

very good

It's interesting how the CULTure we are hostage to is completely beyond reproach by Ms. Freud

What a brilliant mind!

wow. this one can be especially telling.

Please, a video on Carl G. Jung.

I found my self becoming defensive about my own shortcomings guess I need to readjust my ego to a more natural level of tolerance of my self I am finding it hard to follow Aristotle's golden mean though

I refuse to believe that I am in denial...... wait...

Alain du Botton, you are the modern day Socrates.

Excellent!

How enlightening!

Great little video.

We also owe a lot to her as a - usually widely overlooked - queer icon. Despite her dad's initial attempts to psychoanalise her to see what it was in her unconscious that was attracting her to women, he couldn't find anything there. Therefore, despite people still using the Freud name to justify conversion therapy (I mean Sigmund was a massive homophobe), it was because of Anna and her papers that people started to realise that there was actually nothing psychologically wrong with being gay. Also the only reason we have most our information on Anna Freud is thanks to her partner, who promised to set up the institute in her name. If you don't believe me then just go do some psychological research or go to the Freud museum in London - I was lucky enough to go for my degree!

Favourited this video!

currently I am affected by projection, turning against the self, regression, intellectualisation, Fantasy however, at least, I got rid of denial even though I'm not sure if that's a denial itself...

What's the difference between Sublimination (2:38) and Reaction Formation (4:38)

I recognise in myself one form of defense that i use the most: silence.

when will you describe Jung?

every link that led to Freud, his daughter, and now this, video should be examined. But what would we be looking for?

Denial is not just a river

Fantasy. My favorite.

I feel like I am constantly experiencing all of these defense mechanisms. Am I a mess, or are these just common human behaviors?

Anna wore dresses. We know that. But did she wear a slip? (A Freudian slip?)

In many ways Anna Feud is somewhat ironically the real intellectual heir to her father.

So what's the solution to escape I didn't get it .can anyone explain to me?

Man - talk about a list of all my problems. So I guess that means I am a defensive person. This does lead one to think - why am I being attacked all the time?

"Turning against the self" isn't as described. It's the name Anna gives to Sigmund's (well, James Strachey's) "turning round upon the subject's own self" in Instincts and their Vicissitudes. It is the redirection of an instinct from its original object to the self. What you've described in the video is what Fairbairn refers to as the moral defence, although it is arguably just a special case of rationalisation. It would be nice if the terminology were a bit more consistent, though - Anna refers to "reversal into its opposite" frequently as "turning into its opposite" - I think this is an unwise choice of words, given that it is in the same paper that Sigmund outlined turning around and reversal, and they are often used in combination (sadism into masochism, or voyeurism/"scopophilia" into exhibitionism)

Yeah Anna Freud is going to be a controversial topic. Her work is trouble not because she lies or is not describing real phenomenons but rather her conceptualization are may be too rigid to be helpful in the real world and provide an unhealthy lens by which to see other people and our

denial is so true
