In psychoanalytic theory , a defence mechanism ( American English : defense mechanism ), is an unconscious psychological operation that functions to protect a person from anxiety-producing thoughts and feelings related to internal conflicts and outer stressors. [1] [2] [3]
Defence mechanisms may result in healthy or unhealthy consequences depending on the circumstances and frequency with which the mechanism is used. [4] Defence mechanisms ( German : Abwehrmechanismen ) are psychological strategies brought into play by the unconscious mind [5] to manipulate , deny , or distort reality in order to defend against feelings of anxiety and unacceptable impulses and to maintain one's self-schema or other schemas . [6] These processes that manipulate, deny, or distort reality may include the following: repression , or the burying of a painful feeling or thought from one's awareness even though it may resurface in a symbolic form; [4] identification , incorporating an object or thought into oneself; [7] and rationalization , the justification of one's behaviour and motivations by substituting "good" acceptable reasons for the actual motivations. [4] [8] In psychoanalytic theory, repression is considered the basis for other defence mechanisms. [4]
Healthy people normally use different defence mechanisms throughout life. A defence mechanism becomes pathological only when its persistent use leads to maladaptive behaviour such that the physical or mental health of the individual is adversely affected. Among the purposes of ego defence mechanisms is to protect the mind/self/ego from anxiety or social sanctions or to provide a refuge from a situation with which one cannot currently cope. [9]
One resource used to evaluate these mechanisms is the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40). [10] [11]
Different theorists have different categorizations and conceptualizations of defence mechanisms. Large reviews of theories of defence mechanisms are available from Paulhus, Fridhandler and Hayes (1997) [12] and Cramer (1991). [13] The Journal of Personality published a special issue on defence mechanisms (1998). [14]
In the first definitive book on defence mechanisms, The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence (1936), [15] Anna Freud enumerated the ten defence mechanisms that appear in the works of her father, Sigmund Freud : repression , regression , reaction formation , isolation , undoing , projection , introjection , turning against one's own person , reversal into the opposite, and sublimation or displacement . [16]
Sigmund Freud posited that defence mechanisms work by distorting id impulses into acceptable forms, or by unconscious or conscious blockage of these impulses. [15] Anna Freud considered defense mechanisms as intellectual and motor automatisms of various degrees of complexity, that arose in the process of involuntary and voluntary learning. [17]
Anna Freud introduced the concept of signal anxiety; she stated that it was "not directly a conflicted instinctual tension but a signal occurring in the ego of an anticipated instinctual tension". [15] The signalling function of anxiety was thus seen as crucial, and biologically adapted to warn the organism of danger or a threat to its equilibrium. The anxiety is felt as an increase in bodily or mental tension, and the signal that the organism receives in this way allows for the possibility of taking defensive action regarding the perceived danger.
Both Freuds studied defence mechanisms, but Anna spent more of her time and research on five main mechanisms: repression, regression, projection, reaction formation, and sublimation. All defence mechanisms are responses to anxiety and how the consciousness and unconscious manage the stress of a social situation. [18]
Otto F. Kernberg (1967) developed a theory of borderline personality organization of which one consequence may be borderline personality disorder . His theory is based on ego psychological object relations theory . Borderline personality organization develops when the child cannot integrate helpful and harmful mental objects together. Kernberg views the use of primitive defence mechanisms as central to this personality organization. Primitive psychological defences are projection, denial, dissociation or splitting and they are called borderline defence mechanisms. Also, devaluation and projective identification are seen as borderline defences. [19]
In George Eman Vaillant 's (1977) categorization, defences form a continuum related to their psychoanalytical developmental level . [20] [ non-primary source needed ] They are classified into pathological, immature, neurotic and "mature" defences.
Robert Plutchik 's (1979) theory views defences as derivatives of basic emotions , which in turn relate to particular diagnostic structures. According to his theory, reaction formation relates to joy (and manic features), denial relates to acceptance (and histrionic features), repression to fear (and passivity), regression to surprise (and borderline traits), compensation to sadness (and depression), projection to disgust (and paranoia), displacement to anger (and hostility) and intellectualization to anticipation (and obsessionality). [21]
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-IV ) published by the American Psychiatric Association (1994) includes a tentative diagnostic axis for defence mechanisms. [22] This classification is largely based on Vaillant's hierarchical view of defences, but has some modifications. Examples include: denial, fantasy, rationalization, regression, isolation, projection, and displacement.
Psychiatrist George Eman Vaillant introduced a four-level classification of defence mechanisms: [23] [24] Much of this is derived from his observations while overseeing the Grant study that began in 1937 and is on-going. In monitoring a group of men from their freshman year at Harvard until their deaths, the purpose of the study was to see longitudinally what psychological mechanisms proved to have impact over the course of a lifetime. The hierarchy was seen to correlate well with the capacity to adapt to life. His most comprehensive summary of the on-going study was published in 1977. [25] The focus of the study is to define mental health rather than disorder.
When predominant, the mechanisms on this level are almost always severely pathological . These defences, in conjunction, permit one effectively to rearrange external experiences to eliminate the need to cope with reality. Pathological users of these mechanisms frequently appear irrational or insane to others. These are the "pathological" defences, common in overt psychosis . However, they are normally found in dreams and throughout childhood as well. [26]
They include:
These mechanisms are often present in adults. These mechanisms lessen distress and anxiety produced by threatening people or by an uncomfortable reality. Excessive use of such defences is seen as socially undesirable, in that they are immature, difficult to deal with and seriously out of touch with reality. These are the so-called "immature" defences and overuse almost always leads to serious problems in a person's ability to cope effectively. These defences are often seen in major depression and personality disorders . [26]
They include:
These mechanisms are considered neurotic , but fairly common in adults. Such defences have short-term advantages in coping, but can often cause long-term problems in relationships, work and in enjoying life when used as one's primary style of coping with the world. [26]
They include:
These are commonly found among emotionally healthy adults and are considered mature, even though many have their origins in an immature stage of development. They are conscious processes, adapted through the years in order to optimise success in human society and relationships. The use of these defences enhances pleasure and feelings of control. These defences help to integrate conflicting emotions and thoughts, whilst still remaining effective. Those who use these mechanisms are usually considered virtuous . [26]
Mature defences include:
There are many different perspectives on how the construct of defence relates to the construct of coping ; some writers differentiate the constructs in various ways, but "an important literature exists that does not make any difference between the two concepts". [35] In at least one of his books, George Eman Vaillant stated that he "will use the terms adaptation , resilience , coping , and defense interchangeably". [36]
