Dissociation is experiencing a subjective sense of numbing and a reduced awareness of one's surroundings. The client who is sitting quietly and not interacting with any of the staff may be displaying dissociation. The client who avoids discussion of the problem may be using denial as an ego-defense mechanism. The client who acts like another colleague on the job is using identi-fication as an ego-defense mechanism. The client who experiences headaches and stomach aches is using the ego-defense mechanism of conversion.
