Projection is a notion deeply entrenched in psychoanalytic theory that plays an essential role in understanding the human mind and behavior. The concept of projection as a defensive mechanism was proposed by Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis.

We can obtain significant insights into the intricacies of human behavior by investigating the psychoanalytic notion of projection.
