Review: "This volume provides a theoretically grounded examination of defense mechanisms and their role in both normal development and psychopathology. Integrating the latest research methodologies and empirical findings - and shedding new light on longstanding questions and controversies - this is a timely, eminently practical reference and text." "This book will be read with interest by clinical and personality psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other practitioners, as well as researchers working in the areas of psychotherapy, personality and personality assessment, and psychopathology. It will serve as a highly informative supplemental text in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses."--BOOK JACKET.
