PSYCHOLOGICAL DEFENCE MECHANISMS
Beginning with denial, the first case depicts a normal reaction to loss; a wife cannot believe her husband is dead. Another example shows a smoker in a hospital bed. He has gangrene of his right foot; it is clear to the visiting doctor that it will require amputation below the knee the same as his left foot. He denies this and tries to convince us that he is getting better - yet amputation tomorrow will be the evitable outcome. A very thin, anorexic patient tells us that she needs to be six or seven pounds lighter is another illustration of denial.
Projection, regression and repression are presented in a similar manner - progressing from the normal use as a coping mechanism to the more pathological defence mechanism
