Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Freudian theory suggests that the death instinct (Thanatos) can be managed through various defense mechanisms, including repression (pushing the instincts out of conscious awareness), displacement (shifting the instinctual impulses from one object or idea to another), and projection (attributing one's own unacceptable urges to others). Therefore, all of these options are ways in which the death instinct might be handled according to Freudian theory.
