This book provides a clinical tool for recognizing, and understanding, human adaptive responses to stress and the anxiety it causes. For use in the here-and-now, the recognition algorithm systematically delineates the observable hierarchy of psychological adaptive mechanisms, known in psychoanalytic theory as ego defenses, established in previous longitudinal research. Based in a theoretical model, it teaches practical, systematic recognition of these mechanisms which are not only helpful to know when seeing a patient but also when observing human behavior in everyday life.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Beresford is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Trained in psychiatry at The Cambridge Hospital/Harvard Medical School, he has focused his clinical and scientific career on the psychiatric problems that medical and surgical patients encounter, whether in adjusting to illness or in returning to normal brain functioning. His interest in psychological adaptive mechanisms comes from applying scientific methods to clinically relevant human behavior and brain function. He has developed both clinical and teaching methods to understand and use adaptive mechanism recognition with greater, and more practical, precision. Dr. Beresford is internationally known for his work in alcoholism and liver transplantation where he developed a clinical method for evaluating alcohol dependent patients for this life saving procedure.
