Difference between Displacement (psychology) and Reaction formation

Displacement (psychology) vs. Reaction formation

In Freudian psychology, displacement (Verschiebung, "shift, move") is an unconscious defence mechanism whereby the mind substitutes either a new aim or a new object for goals felt in their original form to be dangerous or unacceptable. In psychoanalytic theory, reaction formation (Reaktionsbildung) is a defense mechanism in which emotions and impulses which are anxiety-producing or perceived to be unacceptable are mastered by exaggeration of the directly opposing tendency.
