The Australian and New Zealand Journal... Dec 1996To review the literature on the topic of denied pregnancy and present a case study that illustrates some salient points.
OBJECTIVE
To review the literature on the topic of denied pregnancy and present a case study that illustrates some salient points.
CLINICAL PICTURE
A 21-year-old woman was unaware of her pregnancy until she went into labour, at which time she went into a state of panic. She delivered a dead baby.
TREATMENT
She was interviewed over the 5 days following delivery and referred for psychiatric assessment. She was discharged when cleared of serious psychiatric illness.
OUTCOME
At follow-up she was well but haunted by recollections of the delivery. She was referred for further counselling.
CONCLUSIONS
Denial of pregnancy is more common than realised. It is a heterogeneous condition associated with different coping styles and psychiatric diagnoses. Early testing for pregnancy is recommended in young women with nausea, weight gain and menstruation-like bleeding.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Denial of responsibility as a mode of dissonance reduction and the conditions under which it is likely to occur were explored in 3 experiments. Two experiments tested and supported the hypothesis that following a counterattitudinal behavior, participants prefer the mode of reduction made available to them first, regardless of whether it is attitude change, trivialization, or denial of responsibility. The 3rd experiment tested and supported the hypothesis that denial of responsibility reduces the negative affective state induced by dissonance. The mechanism of denial of responsibility in dissonance reduction is discussed.

This paper has presented a microanalysis of the psychic actions and processes involved in the following four phases of the denial defence: (1) preconscious appraisal of danger, (2) painful affect, (3) cognitive arrest, and (4) screen behaviour. The subject's preconscious appraisal of some situation as actually or potentially dangerous or traumatic brings about the formation of some painful affect. The painful affect initiates a reaction in which the subject turns his focal attention from whatever disturbs him to something less threatening. This turning away or rejection of what is disturbing involves an arrest of the subject's perceiving and/or thinking about the painful object. In the cognitive arrest phase, the subject unconsciously in fantasy attacks the concrete representation of whatever he considers to be the cause of his psychic pain. These fantasy attempts to destroy the painful object arrest the subject's thinking at a primary process level. The fantasy attacks on the painful object and the consequent cognitive arrest is followed by screen behaviour. Screen behaviour is defined as the ideas, fantasies, affects, and overt behaviours motivated by the need to fill in the gaps created by the cognitive arrest, to substitute a different object relation for the one subjectively lost, and to support the defensive aims of the preceding phase. Auxiliary defences acting in conjunction with denial are frequently used in the screen behaviour phase.
