Rationalization- you give an explaination to something Minimizing- you say that wasn't important Externalization- you say it was someone or something else's fault Intellectualization- try to change the subject by using lengthy or "intellectual" arguements Projection- projecting your own shortcomings on to another Displacement-directing your feelings onto another object or person Undoing- trying to make amends without really meaning it Regression- returning to less mature behavior ie "he started it!" Fantasy- going into your own world to escape the problem Acting-out- acting with no regard for consquences Passive-agressive- "indirectly and unassertively expressing aggression toward others" I found these at AllAboutCounseling.com under Defense Mechanisms
