It then analyses them collectively as a set of well-evidenced patterns of human behavior that might be traceable to common mental operations. It organizes them by whether they modulate attention, affect or data and by whether they negate it or divert it externally or internally. From this, three distinct categories of defense are identified, each of which, it is hypothesized, operates to override a different (anoetic, noetic or autonoetic) layer of consciousness by effecting a mental enactment in substitution for a conditioned primary-process behavioral response associated with one of the negative basic emotions PANIC/GRIEF, FEAR and RAGE, or a diversion of one such behavioral response to another context. These, it is suggested, operate homeostatically to attempt to limit sensory intake (PANIC/GRIEF), modify hedonic valencing (FEAR), or fabricate causal data (RAGE) to reduce the prediction work of consciousness so that emotions remain within viable bounds and automaticity can be resumed. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications, including the potential for greater diagnostic precision and efficacy of treatment.KEYWORDS: Defense mechanismscoping strategiesaffectconsciousnessbasic emotions Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":39493,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychoanalysis","volume":"68 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136347499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several key points of Watt’s work are summarized and reflected on.KEYWORDS: DepressionPankseppaffective neuroscienceseparation distresspanic Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Please note that Jaak Panksepp coined the brain system being activated by separation distress in his early career as PANIC system, and later changed to the SADNESS or PANIC/GRIEF nomenclature.2 Please note that in studies investigating primary emotional systems as traits, depressed patients still were characterized by tremendously higher SADNESS than healthy controls (Montag et al., Citation2022) and state shifts of the SEEKING/SADNESS system might develop very differently when comparing depressed patients and their course of depression. Insofar, we believe low SEEKING / high SADNESS constellations to be highly relevant to understand depression, at least in the earlier manifestations of depression.3 Please note that also other associations such as with lower PLAY, higher FEAR and depressive tendencies could be observed in this work.4 https://psycnet.apa.org/search/basic (stats from 10th August 2023).","PeriodicalId":39493,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychoanalysis","volume":"40 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135272823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
