According to the psychodynamic perspective, our mind uses defense mechanisms in order to cope with the anxiety that is generated from certain behaviors and thoughts in our life.
One of this mechanisms is denial, Denial is one of the most primitive defense mechanisms and it involves a refusal to accept reality, in other words we deny what is actually happening (because accepting it would trigger our anxiety).
In this example, the client says that he likes to drink more than the average person but we can stop when he puts his mind to it. By saying this, <u>he is not even accepting he has a drinking problem and he is stating that he can stops whenever he wants, therefore, he is denying reality. </u>Thus we can conclude that he is using the denial defense mechanism.
