Here, I'm looking for a (preferably) single "Social-psychology" term - if such a thing exists - for "déplacements" in this context. My own 1st attempt is "movements" or even "displacements", but I don't know if either of these is acceptable as a term here. Neither sounds very convincing to me...
Thanks!

But this was not psychoanalysis. There are two kinds of analysis. There is Freudian analysis, .... It's a déplacement (displacement) , or an inversion. ...

thanks! Is "displacements" then an accepted term in psychoanalysis? This wasn'y what I had in mind, but makes a lot more sense . I was going to use that word - but for the wrong reasons! |
the link looks pretty convincing! |
Many thanks, David! You've both been very helpful, making it hard to select an answer. |

Melissa McMahon
: First I agreed with Denise, but "movements" doesn't seem v. distinct from behaviours/gestures - the list is of non-linguistic signs rather than non-cognitive per se, and displacement is as much behavioral as representational (transference, or D's 1st eg.)

"Displacement" would fit into a category of cognitive behaviors such as "repression," for example.
thanks, Denise! Unfortunately, I can't get beyond a rather mystifying home page in Science Direct - it comes up with an error msg! |

: this is a very good point Denise ... tricky to be sure ....

Discussion
Defense mechanism. Redirection of emotion. A person may become angry with their boss, and take their anger out on a co-worker. Assaulting innanimate objects is displacing frustration and anger in a “safe” fashion. (see also “sublimation”)
