Abstract EN
The appraisal of defense mechanisms and self-control in recovery substance abuse clients in Malaysia is vital as it provides self-support for maintaining recovery.
This study aims to investigate types of defense mechanisms in recovering substance abuse clients and its relation to self-control level.
The study was carried out on 138 respondents.
The respondents were randomly selected among recovering substance abuse clients in a rehabilitation centre.
The data indicated that neurotic defence mechanisms (M=14.29, SD=3.93) are the most prominent among the respondents.
Meanwhile, the respondents’ self-control scored at average level (M=47.03, SD = 8.76).
There was a positive correlation between immaturity defense style and self-control (r = 0.36, p = 0.0).
This study concludes that with continued treatment and support, they can remain in recovery and sober.
