Abstract:
The impact of defense processes on coping with threatening life diseases has been shown in many studies. Systematic studies focusing on defense mechanisms in these conditions are still rare, however. We report here on the results of a retrospective study on patients after bone marrow transplantation. Thirty four transcripts of patients interviewed at various time spans from treatment were analyzed for the presence or absence of an inventory of defense mechanisms. Cluster-analytic analysis revealed 2 clinically meaningful factors, described in detail.
