Product Description

Product Description

Defenses are mental operations that restore or maintain psychic equilibrium when people feel that they cannot manage emotions that stem from conflict; they remove components of unpleasant emotions from conscious awareness. For example, using sex, food, or hostility to relieve tension - that's a defense - catalogued here as entry number 68: Impulsivity. Screaming at someone can be a defense. Playing golf can be a defense. So can saving money. Or at least all of these activities may involve defenses. In this book, Blackman catalogs 101 defenses - the most ever compiled - with descriptions practical for use in everyday assessment and treatment of psychopathology. He explains how to detect and interpret a defense and offers supportive therapy techniques. The many practical tips interspersed throughout this text make it an excellent reference tool for students and experienced clinicians, while the user-friendly features allow all readers to experience how psychological defenses operate in everyday life.

4.0 out of 5 stars learner's opinion, 27 April 2008
By James Henry Nunn Jr. "RETIRED STUDENT" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 101 Defenses: How the Mind Shields Itself (Paperback)
As a beginner in the study of Freudian concepts I found this book very helpful with its comprehensive list of defenses and their approximate order of appearance. A few of the defenses however have rather ellusive definitions that might be reviewed in future editions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, 5 Sep 2004
By Charlie Sandover "Sandover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 101 Defenses: How the Mind Shields Itself (Paperback)
A useful overview of defenses; a bit of irony might have helped.
