More About Ego Defenses, by Art Smukler, MD, psychiatrist

by artsmuklermd, posted in Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, Self Examination, the mind, World events, a psychological view

We feel better for a while, but then reality hits and we don’t feel so good. More about healthier ego defenses in my next post.
