Un siècle après leur élaboration, les mécanismes de défense continuent d'interroger les cliniciens et s'avèrent indispensables à la compréhension du fonctionnement psychique normal et pathologique.La première partie apporte des réponses à plusieurs questions de base et dresse un bilan des recherches concernant l'apparition, le devenir, l'évaluation et l'utilisation de ces mécanismes défensifs, notamment du champ de la psychologie cognitive à celui de la psychothérapie. La deuxième partie est consacrée à la présentation de vingt-neuf mécanismes de défense, illustrée de nombreux exemples.

This book foregrounds the life struggles of an individual, Brenda, in such a way that argument and theoretical exploration arise organically out of experience. The "frustration" of the title is traced to avoidant attachment - pretending not to need others. In Brenda this is associated with a body-energy pattern that is both over-charged and over-contained, generating a self-frustrating process. Such a repressive defence works against her, so that she experiences her life as dry, soulless, and uncreative. A variety of existential difficulties are traced to how such core developmental issues interact with our socio-cultural environment. A way forward is outlined: play and finding meaning are identified as transformational hubs that bring wellbeing into Brenda's life and restore her capacity for experiencing.
