Help-rejecting complaining is a term that replaces an
older term known as hypochondriasis. The defense is evident in a series of
complaints leading to requests for help. But feelings of anger and resentment
lead to rejecting any help that may be offered. Common complaints are about
health and life problems.
Help-rejecting complaining is a Level 1 Defense
Mechanism.
