Synopsis
This book gives a comprehensive review of questionnaire methods and laboratory methods for evaluating human defence mechanisms. The subject is treated in theoretical papers as well as papers regarding the state of the art, with particular emphasis on the consensus that exists within Europe. There are also comprehensive reviews on results which include recent non-published data. These tests are used for clinical evaluation and selection research in both civilian and military organizations. They also aid in understanding psychosomatic disease, since there are significant links between these psychological mechanisms and health. Research methods in this field are traditionally independent of each other, and there is a disappointingly low degree of correlation among tests that claim to measure defence. One aim of this volume is to demonstrate the consensus that exists, yet at the same time to emphasize the inconsistencies and differences between tests. The various empirical data bases for the various tests are reviewed and attempts are made to discuss the pros and cons for questionnaire methods versus laboratory methods.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Quantification of Human Defence is to be welcomed both for its scientific merit, and as an example of international collaboration and cooperation between psychologists, psychiatrists and clinicians from many countries. The problems surrounding the analysis and assessment of psychological coping are complex, particularly with responses such as defence where many processes are not immediately accessible to conscious awareness. It is widely recognised that without reliable and quantifiable measures, little progress can be made towards understanding the role of psychological defence in human experience. The multifacet nature of defence, and the relevance of experimental and clinical psychology, psychometrics, psychodynamics, psychiatry and psychophysiology, renders it particularly resistant to investigation by a single research group. It was with these issues in mind that an interdisciplinary collaborative initiative was formulated through the Concerted Action on Quantification of Parameters for the Study of Breakdown in Human Adaptation. The Concerted Action, which is part of the Commission of the European Community's Medical and Health Research Programme, was set up in 1983 with the aim of stimulating international collaborative research into problems of quantification of stress and adaptation. More than 70 university departments and research institutions from the European Community and other European countries have participated in the programme, tackling a wide variety of topics ranging from basic biological regulatory processes to measurements in psychosocial epidemiology. 336 pp. Englisch.
