Understanding Defenses and Defensiveness in Social Work

Abstract

All human beings have defenses some of which are unconscious, that is, reactions that for the most part lie beyond our immediate awareness and control.The motivation behind this paper is to present the significant job that safeguards play in social work and to recognize the information and abilities that are required when working with tensions that lead to guarded conduct. The paper is in two sections. The first gives a hypothetical record of what is implied by the term safeguards, uneasiness, opposition and related ideas, and afterward goes on to portray various key safeguards that are consistently experienced in social work, and in other related fields of training. A subsequent area takes a gander at how we can function innovatively with the oblivious, cautious responses and protections, especially the significance of containing tension. It portrays how transaction, counter-transaction and projective ID can help our agreement and help to enlighten the sentiments, fears and dreams that are clear in our work.
