Description

Protecting the Self Defense Mechanisms in Action explores how psychological defenses help individuals maintain equilibrium and self-esteem, particularly during stressful situations. Phebe Cramer examines the role of defense mechanisms in both normal development and psychopathology.

This book integrates theory, research, and applications to describe how children and adults mobilize specific kinds of defenses to cope with trauma or stress. By understanding these mechanisms, readers can gain insight into psychological processes and develop a deeper understanding of human behavior.
