Walking Dead

With the advancement of technology, a newly adopted form of literary work was found, known as a movie game. It is one of the game genres that resembles real movies that provide choices to the players who can actively determine the story, ending, and characters' action. In literary work, a character is one of the intrinsic elements that can be interestingly analyzed from the psychological perspective, including Ego Defense Mechanisms. This study focuses on how the protagonist in a movie game entitled The Walking Dead: Michonne faced her anxiety through her ego defense mechanisms. It aims to identify the types of ego defense mechanisms and how they can help the protagonist cope with her anxiety. The discussion was based on psychoanalysis theory, namely Ego Defense Mechanisms proposed by Sigmund Freud. This study elaborated the description of the protagonist's actions when she faced anxiety through a qualitative method. The analysis revealed that the protagonist adopted the four types of Ego Defense Mechanisms: repression, sublimation, rationalization, and aggression. It was found that aggression was the most frequently adopted mechanism, followed by sublimation, rationalization, and the least was repression. This finding indicated that the protagonist chose aggression to release resentment or dissatisfaction, especially when facing objects or other characters that create anxiety or frustration. It implies that the persistence of aggression, sublimation, rationalization, and repression could reflect the presence of continual threats in the environment from which people should survive.

Introduction.Psychotherapy can ease physical symptoms of patients with skin pathology.Objectives.To study features of social and psychological maladaptation and quality of life in patients with psoriasis.Aim.To study psychotherapy role in quality of life improvement and social rehabilitation of patients with psoriasis and their family members for the period 2000–2015 in the Belarusian population.Methods.One hundred and twenty four patients with cutaneous psoriasis, 12 patients with psoriatic arthritis and 42 healthy persons were studied. Quality of life, types of attitude towards the disease, level of social frustration, depression, level of social maladaptation, psychological defense mechanisms and patients attitudes towards psychotherapy were assessed.Results.There were detected among patients with psoriasis (especially with arthropathy form): social maladaptation, higher level of social frustration and depression (P < 0.05), decrease in quality of life (P < 0.001), the wider range of psychological defense mechanisms (negation, regression, substitution, reactive formation, P < 0.05). Maladaptive types of attitude towards the disease were presented in 24% patients with psoriasis and almost in 41% patients with arthropathy.Conclusions.Psychotherapy can have a high potential for social rehabilitation and quality of life improvement for patients with psoriasis. Obtained data in social maladaptation indicate family therapy as an important therapeutic part for patients with psoriasis. Moreover, knowledge about patients psychological defense mechanisms can help to choose a direction and methods of individual psychotherapy of social maladaptation. This research shows also that psychotherapeutic approach and family psychotherapy remains underestimated in Belarus.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

In order to evaluate the inner picture of the disease and the changes in socio-psychological sphere under the effect of endocrinological disease, 120 diabetics were interviewed using a special questionnaire including 85 questions on different aspects of patient’s life. The results showed pronounced emotional and personal problems in all socially significant spheres, which deteriorated the quality of life. A distorted picture of the disease with fixation on "escape into disease" was characteristic of the majority of respondents. The detection of patient’s emotions concerning their suffering and revelation of the inner picture of disease in diabetics are aimed at evaluation of the adaptive potential, value motivation system, and defense mechanisms for development of more adequate psychotherapeutic approaches.
