When there is a breakdown of the nurturing process weak components of the personality begin to show.
These developments of weakness manifest themselves into
one's ability to make decisions as an Adolescent leading into Adulthood. So much is initially established (hopefully) by the Parent with child-rearing practices implementation.
A barrier is created when the set order is disrupted by problematic issues. Depending on the seriousness of the problem, outside help may be sought for a solution to the problem, keeping the person's best interest in mind.
Resolution of the problem becomes the focus and goal of the Family during the crisis. Therefore a big Therapeutic goal process becomes a new adventure for the Family.
I feel the ego defense acts as a backup until Professional help is moved into the given situation for
the person that is having the problem or problems: Making for a possible further psychological trauma. The Family vs. a normal existence which is what one is expecting and works towards. Why me? I feel it is the simplest of all psychological questions that comes to mind.
