What is displacement according to Freud?

Solution
Displacement is a defense mechanism of the ‘ego’. In this, the motive originally meant for one goal object is turned towards some other less anxiety and less threatening goal object. For example, a person who is angry with his boss vents the anger on the children at home or kicks the stray dog on road. This yields some relief for the pent-up tension.
