Abstract:
A recently developed questionnaire for measuring various mechanisms of defence was given to a consecutive sample of 54 patients at the beginning and the end of their psychotherapy on our psychosomatic ward. A significant reduction was ascertained on the dimensions principalization--or intellectualization--and turning against self, a significant increase on the dimension turning against object. The results of this assessment can be interpreted in the sense of a more adequate coping with conflicts which has to be proved by further investigations.
