ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the primary process, the manifestation of anxiety and defense mechanisms on patients that attend a College Mental Health Clinic. A non probabilistic sample of 200 first time patients answered the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAS), Categorization Test of Brakel, et al. and the Questionnaire of Defensive Styles (DSQ-40). Is expected to confirm what appears in the literature in this regard, that the primary process occurs when there is anxiety and immature defense mechanisms. In addition, the immature defense mechanisms are present with anxiety. The results only confirmed the hypothesis that a lower level of anxiety increasing secondary process and a greater secondary process more mature defense mechanisms exists.
