Based on 28 years of research into the problem of resistance, this book offers a consistently developed set of hypotheses centering around the concept of the "e;fantasy bond,"e; an illusion of connection originally formed with the mother and later with significant others in the individual's environment. The book develops the concept of the core defense of the "e;fantasy bond"e; and describes the structure and organization of the overall defensive process. The ideas set forth in this work constitute an important link between neo-psychoanalytic thought and existential views, especially those relating to individual and collective defenses against death anxiety.
