Random information on the term “Undoing”:
Undoing is a defense mechanism in which a person tries to cancel out or remove an unhealthy, destructive or otherwise threatening thought or action by engaging in contrary behavior. For example, after thinking about being violent with someone, one would then be overly nice or accommodating to them. It is one of several defense mechanisms proposed by the founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud during his career, many of which were later developed further by his daughter Anna Freud. The German term “Ungeschehenmachen” was first used to describe this defense mechanism. Transliterated, it means “making un-happened”, which is essentially the core of “undoing”. Undoing refers to the phenomenon whereby a person tries to alter the past in some way to avoid or feign disappearance of an adversity or mishap.
Freud first described the practice of undoing in his 1909 “Notes upon a Case of Obsessional Neurosis”. Here he recounted how his patient (the “Rat Man”) first removed a stone from the road in case his lady’s carriage should overturn upon it, and thereafter ‘felt obliged to go back and replace the stone in its original position in the middle of the road’. Freud argued that his ‘undoing this deed of love by replacing the stone where…her carriage might come to grief against it…was determined by a motive contrary to that which produced the first part’ by hate, not love.
