MacArthur Foundation series on mental health and development]. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. 512 pp. Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. At the heart of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis is the concept of repression, the avoidance on conscious awareness of experiences associated with conflict. Repression and related defense mechanisms such as dissociation remain central concepts in all psychodynamic approaches to psychotherapy, though many cognitive and behavioral scientists have greatly extended and altered Freud's original definition of repressive behavior. In this volume, some of the world's leading experts in clinical psychiatry, clinical psychology, health psychology, and cognitive psychology examine the historical origins of the concept of repression, survey the clinical and research evidence for its existence as a psychological function, and summarize the major theoretical formulations of repression current today, including the emerging concept of repression as a personality style. Several contributors explore implications of a repressor personality style for physiology and health, investigating its links to stress and its effects on the immune system and on diseases such as cancer.
