Displacement is the redirecting of thoughts, feeling and impulses directed at one person or object, but taken out upon another person or object. People often use displacement when they cannot express their feelings in a safe manner to the person they are directed at. The classic example is the man who gets angry at his boss, but can’t express his anger to his boss so he comes back home and kicks the dog or starts an argument with his wife.
nice topic
ReplyDeleteSadly, this happens in many families :(
ReplyDeleteTrue. I have seen it in a lot of families as well. People should be more aware on how to direct their anger.
