Infos

This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the empirical and psychometric studies of defence mechanisms, an examination of theories of the development of defences and a new approach to measuring defences. Part 1 reviews the conceptual models of defence and consists of discussions of the development of denial, projection and identification throughout the lifespan. Part 2 provides an extensive review of numerous studies of 58 different measures of defence mechanisms. Specifically, the empirical studies of the Defence Mechanism Inventory, measures derived from a structured response format amd methods in which the inquiry is unstructured, are discussed in this part of the book. In the last section, a new approach to the assessment of defences, the Defence Mechanism Manual (DMM), is described in depth. The DMM permits thought process to be revealed in an open-ended manner, through extensive samples of verbal behaviour, and allows for a reliability test by independent observers. The psychometric features of the test are described, the validation studies are reviewed, and a scoring manual for DMM is provided in the appendix.
