Displacement

Explanation:

The defense mechanism called Displacement occurs when an individual displaces a threatening feeling he has suffered for action on another person or thing, that is, the individual discharges his anger on a weaker object.

The defense mechanism of displacement is when, for example, your boss treats you badly at work and you come home and vent the anger on your wife or children. Since you cannot return hostility to your boss because it would lead to job loss, or stalking, or something like that, you move to another object. The object in psychoanalysis can be a person, an animal, or even an object indeed.

This happened to Shauna, when she releases the anger felt by the reprimand she received from her mother in her dolls.
