Book Synopsis The Processes of Defense by : Joseph Fernando
Book excerpt: "Joseph Fernando provides the first in-depth exploration and up-to-date revision of the psychoanalytic theory of defenses since Anna Freud's 1936 classic, The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense. The workings of three basic forms of defense - repression, denial, and post-traumatic defenses - are clearly described and illustrated with examples from Dr. Fernando's clinical practice, and new concepts including the zero process, contrast defenses, and compound defenses are introduced." --Book Jacket.
