-===== Common Defense Mechanisms in Traditional Psychology =====+===== Critique =====
 The most prominent defense mechanisms were framed within the context of internal conflict. For example, repression (pushing unwanted thoughts out of conscious awareness) or projection (attributing one’s own unacceptable feelings to others) evokes an image of the mind as a battlefield, where different parts of the psyche are in direct opposition.
