A 45 -year-old business executive with advanced cirrhosis of the liver and a history of alcohol abuse claims that he does not have a problem with drinking and can quit any time he wants to. Eventually he quits drinking but continues to have the symptoms of advanced cirrhosis of the liver.Despite the obvious discomfort caused by his illness ,he tells everyone how happy he is to have cirrhosis because it has led to the cessation of his drinking.The defence mechanism he is using is best identified as
1) projection
2) denial
3) counterphobic behaviour
4) reaction formation
5) isolation of affect
