About this document
Understanding Displacement in Psychology by Lester Mark is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Displacement is a defense mechanism where a person directs their negative emotions onto a less threatening target instead of the actual source to avoid negative consequences. 2. For example, getting angry at a friend for being late after having a fight with your landlord. 3. Displacement occurs subconsciously as a way to release pent up emotions from a more threatening situation onto a safer outlet.
