Abstract
The purpose of the study was to perform a comparative analysis of ego defence mechanisms in patients with “hypertension (HTN) at work”, on the one hand, and in patients with essential arterial HTN, on the other. We examined 85 people with HTN at work, and 85 patients with essential HTN. It was shown that emotional processes of the examined patients with HTN is distinctively characterized by predominance of negative experience, which can be projected, denied or repressed by patients.The group of patients with HTN at work are characterized by a wider range of defence mechanisms, predominant use of neurotic level mechanisms, and a more developed ability for reflection upon their feelings.
