Abstract
This article investigates the characteristics of psychological defense mechanisms among young women with a different type of attachment. We considered the problem of studying the origins of psychological defense mechanisms and their classification. Sample group included young women aged emergent adulthood and adolescence, which had four types of attachment: “Autonomy”, “Pseudoautonomy”, “Disorientation” and “Hyper-attachment”. The results indicate that the violation in types of attachments can be associated with the primitive, immature psychological defense mechanisms. Women with pseudo-autonomy type attachment have the defense mechanism of projection. Girls with disorientation get a typical defense mechanism which is reaction formation. The defense mechanisms for “Hyper- attachment” are characterized by regression and denial.
