Abstract

Richardson, Beath, and Boag (this issue) developed a questionnaire designed to measure attachment-related defense mechanisms with considerable promise for research, practice, and training. Their robust design and the sophisticated psychometric techniques used to generate and validate the measure are notable. The goal of this commentary is to situate the measure in contemporary research on defenses, draw a distinction between defenses linked specifically to attachment and defenses more generally, and to stimulate a constructive dialogue with the Defense Mechanisms Rating Scales (DMRS; Di Giuseppe & Perry, 2021; Perry, 1990, 2014), a model and set of measures that has dominated defense mechanism research for half a century.

临床实践中的防御与依恋：先有什么？

Richardson、Beath 和 Boag（本期）开发了一份调查问卷，用于测量与依恋相关的防御机制，该问卷在研究、实践和培训方面前景广阔。值得注意的是，他们采用了稳健的设计和复杂的心理测量技术来生成和验证测量结果。本评论的目的是将该测量方法置于当代防御机制研究中，区分与依恋相关的防御机制和更广泛的防御机制，并激发与防御机制评定量表（DMRS；Di Giuseppe & Perry, 2021; Perry, 1990, 2014）的建设性对话。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Personality Assessment (JPA) primarily publishes articles dealing with the development, evaluation, refinement, and application of personality assessment methods. Desirable articles address empirical, theoretical, instructional, or professional aspects of using psychological tests, interview data, or the applied clinical assessment process. They also advance the measurement, description, or understanding of personality, psychopathology, and human behavior. JPA is broadly concerned with developing and using personality assessment methods in clinical, counseling, forensic, and health psychology settings; with the assessment process in applied clinical practice; with the assessment of people of all ages and cultures; and with both normal and abnormal personality functioning.
