Abstract
The question of the chronological classification of the mechanisms of defense is an old one. Anna Freud, in her classic monograph (1946), has already touched on it and reached the conclusion that it should probably best be left alone. “Instead,” she wrote, we should “study in detail the situations which call forth the defensive reactions” (p. 57). This chapter is correspondingly not going to advance the untenable position that there is in any way an association between the developmental crisis of adolescence and the emergence of the mechanism of denial.
