this is projection.

think: projection: projecting negative feelings about yourself to others. like, i'm a bad tennis player > you're a bad tennis player. i'm a cheating bastard > my wife's cheating on me.

think: displacement = displacing your feelings from x to y. like, anger at husband > anger at child. or, affection for spouse > affection for stuffed animal (psychotherapy needed).

It is projection

Displacement is in descending order eg the coach pushed this swimmer (olympic team) to do his best, this swimmer start to yell the little kids to improve their marks, the little kids yells their teddie bears because it can't swim

  #7

Kaplan sub categorizes these 3 under narccisitic defense mechs.
As I remember:
PDS
Projection
Denial
Splitting
