Defense Mechanisms in Alexithymia
Psychological Reports, 1999The Polish version of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale–20 and Defense Mechanisms Questionnaire were completed by 387 university students. Scores on alexithymia correlate significantly with scores on the whole group of 12 immature defenses (Pearson r = .39, p<.001) and with scores on such individual immature defense mechanisms as Autistic Fantasy ( r =

Fetal Defense Mechanisms [PDF]
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1975 The function of the immune system of the fetus and the newborn is suspect because of an increased incidence of infection, poor clinical response to infection, diminished lymphoid tissue, and sluggish immunologic responses to a variety of natural or test antigens.

Defensiveness and Defense Mechanisms
Journal of Personality, 1998This introduction to the Journal of Personality's special issue on the topic of defense mechanisms raises the question of why defenses have been largely overlooked in personality research. Although defenses were originally discussed in the context of psychopathology, for the past 60 years psychodynamically oriented psychologists have understood that ...

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2012
A multitude of overlapping defenses has evolved to help combat the inventiveness of pathogens seeking to invade us, and because the lung is the most common primary route of infection, it is in the lung that the most varied responses are seen. This article focuses on recent research, particularly in innate immunity, and gives a general overview of the ...

The Defense Mechanisms of the Esophagus
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1983Gastroesophageal reflux is a normal event, and the gastrointestinal tract possesses mechanisms to deal with the refluxed content so that symptoms are not produced. When the amount of refluxed material increases, or the quality changes, or one or more of the defense mechanisms breaks down, then the consequences occur in the esophagus. The variability of

Abstract Peptic ulceration is probably the result of an imbalance between the aggressive acid-pepsin and the defensive mucus-mucosal barrier factors. In persons without ulcer disease these two factors are in dynamic equilibrium. A breakdown in any of the gastric defense mechanisms discussed may result in peptic ulceration.

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1993
The susceptibility of complement-deficient individuals to various severe infections, and studies of the effector mechanisms involved in the destruction of infectious agents, demonstrate the importance of complement in providing an effective host defense system. It is also becoming increasingly apparent that complement not only plays a role in 'natural'

Defense mechanisms of the body
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1976Abstract There are many poorly understood aspects of the subject of resistance to infection. It is not known, for example, why one species may be very sensitive and another resistant to infection by the same organism. The numerous mechanisms that are recognized as barriers to infection of the oral cavity are reviewed.

Understanding Defense Mechanisms
Psychodynamic Psychiatry, 2015Understanding defense mechanisms is an important part of psychotherapy. In this article, we trace the history of the concept of defense, from its origin with Freud to current views. The issue of defense as an unconscious mechanism is examined. The question of whether defenses are pathological, as well as their relation to pathology, is discussed.
