My last weekend

So in my past weekend I spend a very good time. I had too many things to do, but I was tired because I had a lot of work to do during the week; so I decided to do activities that I don't use to do. First on Friday I went out with my friends to a birthday party and I dance all night long. I really spend a good time. On saturday I decided to go with all my family to Fantasilandia that is an entreteiment park, where I really enjoied because I love adrenaline and also because I haven't spend time with my family lately.

And in the afternoon I when to my job and I worked from 5 o'clock pm until 1 o'clock in the morning. It was a very agitated day but I loved it. And finally on sunday I rested in the mnornin, I slept until 12 o 'clock pm and then went to work again.
It was a very interesting weekend I had a very good time and right now I don't have photographs but I have them home so i will post them as soon as I can. I hope you liked reading about my weekend. Love you all take care.

Interestin career-related topic:

Mecanism of defense

The mechanisms of defense are unconscious resources used by the ego to reduce a conflict between the identity and superego, so in this way they can reduce feelings of anxiety. For that reason they are more frecuently referred as ego defense mechanisms. These are describe in the psychoanalytic theory. What I have learned about it is that there are different types of this mechanisms, which are different between them in the característics of the type of structure that the person that use them, has. So they can be classified en three types: low mechanisms of defense (or primitives), intermediate and high.
The first ones are used principally by people who has a psychotic structures, and the other two are used by limit and neurotic structures respectivly.
This are the general caracteristic about them I would like to know better how they work and if I can see them manifested in pacients.
Finally I recomend you to see and lear a little bit more about them and know their classifications and types at: http://allpsych.com/psychology101/defenses.html
