Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.6
What could be an unconventional counterargument against the Freudian concept of defense mechanisms?
The categorization and naming of defense mechanisms were arbitrary.
Defense mechanisms are products of an overly repressive society, not inherent human behavior.
Defense mechanisms do not contribute significantly to personality development.
Defense mechanisms may not be unconscious processes, but rather conscious strategies employed to manage stress.
