Terms & Defs from "Psychology, a part of G*d's 'common grace'" (see Genesis 43:15-34) shed abroad in the world by the pervasive influence of the Holy Spirit in the human time frame known as the "Age of Grace".
  • Repression: "A psychological process in which memories and motives are not permitted to enter consciousness but are operative at an unconscious level. Repression is one of the reactions to frustration and anxiety. It serves as a means of altering conscious motives and ideals."
  • Regression: "A retreat to earlier or more primitive forms of behavior frequently encountered in children and adults faced with frustration."
  • Scapegoating: "The displacement of aggression to a convenient group or class. It is a defense mechanism that operates as a prejudice against racial, religious or other groups."
  • Displacement: "The disguising of the goal of a motive by substituting another in place of it."
  • Sublimation: "The use of a substitute activity to gratify a frustrated motive. Freud believed for example, that a frustrated sex drive could be partially gratified by channeling it into some aesthetic activity."
  • Projection: "The disguising of a source of conflict by ascribing one's own motives to someone else; prominent in paranoia."
  • Defense Mechanism: "A reaction to frustration that defends the person against anxiety and serves to disguise his motives, so that he deceives himself about his real motives."
  • Reaction Formation: "The disguising of a motive so completely that it is expressed in a form that is directly opposite to its original intent."
  • Rationalization: "The interpretation of one's behavior so as to conceal the motive it expresses and to assign the behavior to some other motive."
  • Resistance: "A phenomenon observed in psychotherapy, exhibited as an inability to remember important events in one's past or to talk about certain anxiety-charged subjects. Resistance may be indicated by a blocking of free associations or by a person's steering away from certain subjects during free association."
  • Compulsion: "An irrational, useless act that constantly intrudes into a person's behavior."
  • Transference: "In psychotherapy and especially psychoanalysis, the re-enactment of previous relationships with people and especially of the parent-child relationship. In psychoanalysis, the therapist becomes the object of transference; the transference aids in the analysis because it permits the patient to express towards the therapist attitudes and feelings he has held towards other people."
  • Neurosis: "A mental or personality disorder, less severe than a psychosis, in which a person is unusually anxious, miserable, troubled, or incapacitated in his work and his relationships with other people."
  • Psychosis: "A mental or personality disorder more severe than a neurosis often requiring custodial care."
  • Unconscious Motivation: "Motivation that can be discerned in a person's behavior but that he cannot report and does not perceive."
  • Dissociative Reaction: "A neurotic reaction involving repression in which certain aspects of personality and memory are compartmentalized and function more or less independently, e.g., amnesia and multiple personality."
  • Depressive Disorder: "A mental disorder characterized by anxiety, guilt feelings, self-deprecation, or suicidal tendencies."
  • Conversion Reaction: "A neurotic reaction in which motivational conflict has been converted into physical symptoms, so that the person appears to have various ailments that have no physical basis."
  • Compensation: "A defense mechanism in which an individual substitutes one activity for another to satisfy frustrated motives. It usually implies failure or loss of self-esteem in one activity and the compensation of this loss in some other realm of endeavor."
