Altruism is the selfless concern for the well-being of others, often at a personal cost. It develops as a mature defense mechanism, integrating conflicting feelings and maximizing gratification. Rooted in philosophical and ethical traditions, altruism can be a healthy way to manage internal conflicts by focusing on helping others, fostering a sense of purpose and connection.
