This document discusses different types of defense mechanisms. It divides defenses into four clusters: narcissistic, borderline/hysterical, obsessive-compulsive, and psychotic. Within each cluster, several specific defense mechanisms are defined and examples are provided. Some of the defenses discussed include projection, denial, splitting, repression, displacement, intellectualization, humor, sublimation, and suppression. The document aims to comprehensively outline and explain various psychological defense mechanisms.
The term got its start in psychoanalytic therapy, but it has slowly worked its way into everyday language. In Sigmund Freud's topographical model of personality, the ego is the aspect of personality that deals with reality. While doing this, the ego also has to cope with the conflicting demands of the id and the superego. The id seeks to fulfil all wants, needs and impulses while the superego tries to get the ego to act in an idealistic and moral manner. What happens when the ego cannot deal with the demands of our desires, the constraints of reality and our own moral standards?

Structural pathology - Transactional AnalysisManu Melwin Joy
Berne suggests that ego boundaries can be thought of as semi permeable membranes through which psychic energy can flow from one ego state to another. Some people continually act in unpredictable ways and others are so predictable they seem monotonous. These disorders are caused by ego state boundaries which are too lax or tight, have lesions or overlap. This is known as structural pathology.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
5. 1. Projection1. Projection
• A person attributes his or
her own desire, wishes,
thoughts or emotions to
some one else.
• E.g.:- A man who has
committed adultery
becomes convinced that
his wife is having an affair
even though there is no
evidence of it.
• Paranoid delusions
results 4rm use of
projection.
6. 2. Denial2. Denial
• A person refuses to accept the reality of anything that is bad.
• E.g. A woman prepares dinner for her husband expecting
him to come home even thoughhe died a month earlier
7. 3.SPLITTING3.SPLITTING
• “People or things in world are perceived as all
bad or all good”
• E.g.
“He’s just so perfect and wonderful,” says a
teenage girl in love.
Borderline personality disorder use
splitting
8.
9. 1.BLOCKING1.BLOCKING
• Temporary or transient block in thinking,
or inability to remember.
• E.g. In the middle of the conversation a
woman pauses , looks confused & asked ,
“What was I just talking about”
10. 2. Regression2. Regression
Returning to an earlier stage
of development. “acting
childish”
e.g. A husband speaks to his
wife in a “baby talk”
A patient lies in bed curled
up in a fetal position
11. 3. SOMATIZATION3. SOMATIZATION
• Psychic derivatives are converted into
bodily symptoms.
• E.g. Getting a headache while taking an
exam.
• Developing a ringing in the ears while
making a presentation for grand rounds.
12. 4.INTROJECTION4.INTROJECTION
• (Identification) features of external world or
persons are taken in and made part of the self.
The opposite of projection.
• E.g. A teenager adopts the style & mannerisms
of a rock star.
• A resident dresses and act like the attending
physician.
13.
14. 1. Displacement1. Displacement
Changing the target of an
emotion or drive , while the
person having the feeling
remains the same.
Example:
If you are yelled at by your
boss you can’t yell back you’ll
get fired! So, you go home and
yell at your loved ones!
A man who is sexually
aroused by a woman he meets
goes home and makes love to
his wife.
15. 2. Repression2. Repression
• An idea or feeling is eliminated
from consciousness. Note that
content may once have been
unknown, but now has become
inaccessible.
• E.g. You forget, then forget that
you forgot.
• Differentiated 4rm denial in that
the reality was once accepted,
but is now discarded.
• One of the most basic defense
mechanisms.
16. 3.ISOLATION OF AFFECT3.ISOLATION OF AFFECT
• Reality is accepted, but without the expected
human emotional response to that reality.
• E.g.
• A child who has been beaten discusses the
beatings without any display of emotions.
• A patient who has had a finger severed in an
accident describes the incident to his physician
without any emotional reaction.
• Conversion disorder is manifestation of this
defense mechanism.
17. 4.INTELLECTUALIZATION4.INTELLECTUALIZATION
• Affect is stripped away & replaced by an excessive
use of intellectual processes. Cognition replaces
affect. The intellectual content is academically, but not
humanly, relevant.
• E.g. A boy is about to ask a girl out on a date 4 the 1st
time talks with his friend about the importance of
mating rituals for the long term survival of the
species & the mechanisms by which societies
arrange 4 these rituals.
• In obsessive compulsive disorder,
rumination can result 4rm this defense
mechanism.
18.
19. 1.HUMOR1.HUMOR
• Permits the overt expression of feelings
and thoughts without personal discomfort.
• E.g. A man laughs when he is going to
be fired.
• Laughter covers the pain and anxiety.
20. 2. Sublimation2. Sublimation
• When people channel
impulses into socially
acceptable behavior.
• Example:- An executive
who is attracted to a female
associate becomes her
mentor and advisor.
• It is considered to be the
most mature defense.
21. 3.SUPPRESSION3.SUPPRESSION
• Conscious decision to postpone attention to an
impulse or conflict, conscious setup &
unconscious follow-through. The suppressed
content temporarily resides in the unconscious.
• E.g. A terminally ill cancer patient puts aside
his anxiety and enjoys a family gathering.
• A student decides to 4get about a pending
exam to go out and have a good time for an
evening.
Forget, but remember that you forgot.
