Anna Freud, a prominent psychoanalyst, developed the theory that rationalisation serves as a defence mechanism, serving as an unconscious effort to evade addressing the root cause of a behaviour. This psychological process enables individuals to uphold their self-respect or avoid experiencing guilt for any wrongful actions committed.

In the first episode of "The Illusion of the Rational Human Being," hosted by Graham Scott, Graham discusses his realisation on a striking conclusion that humans are not solely rational beings but rather rationalising beings. As irrational behaviours become prevalent, individuals tend to rationalise these actions as a coping mechanism. Graham delves into several common scenarios that humans encounter during their lifetime and sheds light on how rationalisation theory is employed to sidestep underlying issues.
