PSYC36H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Projective Identification, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Carl Jung
Document Summary
(1) regression is the return to an earlier level of functioning to avoid anxiety and tension. (2) reaction formation is the process by which an individual transforms unacceptable impulses or fantasy into a more acceptable version. (3) undoing is where a person attempts to clarify or negate negative impulses by rationalizing or attempting to withdraw the communication. (4) introjection occurs when we psychologically take in aspects of significant others and can be a normal part of development. (5) identification is the process of internalizing aspects of another and can be a healthy part of normal development. (6) projection is the process of seeing our own negated impulses and wishes in another. (7) turning against the self is attacking the self for unacceptable behaviour or feelings through self-abuse or negative internal beliefs that are often subvocalized. (8) reversal is when the opposite emotion from what a person feels appears on the surface.
