Questions

LP, а pаtient diаgnоsed with Bоrderline Persоnality Disorder is asked to leave the pantry area as patients are not permitted in the area for infection control purposes. LP replies: "the nurse last night, Sarah completely understands what I need. She always lets me go into the pantry after hours and make coffee for myself and thinks the rules are stupid. You obviously don't care about me. She is so much more understanding and considerate." The patient is using which primitive defense mechanisms?
