Explanation:

Projection is when the clients blame others for their own faults or weaknesses. For example, clients might project the fact that they did not get into a college of their choice on their parents or the college admission department when in fact the true blame is on their lack of preparation for standardized tests and consistently poor performance in school. Projection protects the ego until they are able to identify and cope with the underlying issue.
