Freud’s Defense Mechanisms and Their Relevance in Modern Psychology

Describe each of Freud’s defense mechanisms discussed in the text (minimum 6). Then, for each defense mechanism, describe when you or someone you know engaged in that defense mechanism. You must use at least 2 non-class text sources (journal articles). The section before the conclusion entails discussing the theoretical relevance of defense mechanism to modern theories of psychology. In other words, which theory (theories) is/are relevant to one or more of Freud’s original defense mechanisms? Please be thorough in your analysis and use empirical evidence to illustrate the relevance. Do not forget, you need to cite the sources using APA formatting. Provide a title page and a reference page, also in APA style, at the end of your discussion.
