Explain, show, or provide a reading of the example. Describe to your learner how your example relates to the defense mechanism and to Freud’s ideas about anxiety. What can we learn about personality from this defense mechanism? Why is knowing about this defense mechanism useful? Why might knowing about this defense mechanism be problematic?
