Prominent affect defenses were projected introaggression in paranoid and schizotypal PDs, introaggression in borderlines, inhibition in avoidant PD and barrier/affect isolation in obsessive-compulsive PD. Prominent identity defenses were marked denial in narcissism, reversal II 1-2 in dependent PD and reversal IV in histrionics. Patients with antisocial PD (ASPD, n = 53 out of 65) were... (More)

Patients with antisocial PD (ASPD, n = 53 out of 65) were analyzed separately. Results underlined psychoanalytic conceptions of the mind in relation to PDs of drug abusers. (Less)
