Defence mechanisms in organisations and relations

What are defence mechanisms, and how can you recognise them? Which do you have, and the people around you? What is their use and when do they become counterproductive? How can you let go, temper them or replace them? What is the correspondence with concepts such as script, schedule, game and survival strategy? How do you sublimate your own themes? This training day offers essential knowledge to improve cooperation and interaction with others.

Which psychological defence mechanisms do people use, and how can you address them?

In this one-day seminar on defence mechanisms, international leadership trainer and former psychotherapist Manfred van Doorn, along with organisational psychologist Rozemarijn Dols, will explore the twelve groups of defence mechanisms identified within the Double Healix leadership model.

To provide a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of these defence mechanisms and how team members or partners can sublimate them, the trainers will employ the MovieLearning method.

Using numerous concrete and inspiring examples from films and documentaries, they will demonstrate how to recognise defence mechanisms and how to manage them effectively, both within yourself and in others.

The Double Healix model

The Double Healix Model offers a unique and integral vision for the development of leadership. Within this, there is focus on both the personal development of leaders, and the team, organisational, and societal context in which they operate. The model has three important components: phases, levels, and tension fields.

MovieLearning

To give the best and most nuanced picture possible of the defence forms and ways in which people can sublimate them, the trainers work with the MovieLearning method: they show, using many concrete and inspiring examples from films and documentaries, how to recognise the defence forms and handle them as well as possible, both in yourself and in others.
