Atualmente, alguns autores entendem que os mecanismos de defesa são organizados em um continuum que varia de imaturo a defesas mais maduras. Sob essa perspectiva, foi desenvolvido o Defensive Style Questionnaire 40 (DSQ-40), sendo um instrumento de autorrelato composto por 40 itens que devem ser respondidos em uma escala Likert de sete pontos, distribuídos em três fatores (maduro, neurótico e imaturo). O DSQ-40 foi traduzido e adaptado para o Brasil e teve suas propriedades psicométricas verificadas por meio da Teoria Clássica dos Testes (TCT). O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar os parâmetros dos itens e pessoas obtidos por meio do modelo de escala graduada para o DSQ-40. Para tanto, foram recrutados 105 parti¬cipantes com idade entre 19 e 49 anos (M = 23,64; DP = 5,14), sendo 59 mulheres. As análises realizadas sustentam a unidimensionalidade dos fatores do instrumento, sugerem a adequação de uma escala Likert de três pontos para o instrumento, confirmam que os mecanismos de defesa mais adaptativos são mais comuns na população e demonstram índices de fidedignidade satisfatórios de acordo com os níveis de theta dos sujeitos.

Abstract. This article concerns the utility of ego psychoanalytic perspectives in Rorschach interpretation. Psychoanalytic ego psychology focuses on how people cope with events in their lives and how effectively they can meet challenges to their sense of well-being. The way people deal with experienced distress constitutes their defensive style and determines to a large extent what kind of person they are. Adequate defenses against anxiety promote comfortable and productive adjustment, whereas ineffective defenses typically cause adjustment difficulties and susceptibility to psychological disorders. In Rorschach assessment, the nature and effectiveness of a person’s defensive style can often be identified with a sequence analysis that integrates the structural, thematic, and behavioral features in the protocol. In particular, the sequential quality of responses, especially preceding and following instances of cognitive slippage, can help identify causes of upsetting concerns, defensive efforts to alleviating these concerns, and the adequacy of these defensive efforts in restoring equanimity. This interpretive process is illustrated with attention to implications for differential diagnosis and treatment planning in the Rorschach protocol of a 20-year-old suicidal woman.

The Stanford Shyness Survey, the Defense Mechanism Inventory and the Activity Preference Questionnaire were administered to 92 college students to examine the relationship among shyness, reactivity to anxiety, and defensive style. As hypothesized, shy persons experienced greater ego threat and social anxiety. They turned aggressive impulses inwardly against the self more frequently than not so shy people. Shy subjects also used significantly less repression and denial defenses, increasing their vulnerability to the experience of internalized subjective distress. Although there were also no differences between shy and nor shy students on defenses that turn unacceptable impulses outward (e.g., projection and displacement), it was speculated that shy persons engage in such defenses in ways that do not represent a threat to self-esteem.
