A theory of surrender: Understanding psychological surrender with comparison to ego defense.
Moze, Mary Beth Gajewski.

A theory of surrender: Understanding psychological surrender with comparison to ego defense. - 412 p.

Adviser: Michael Raffanti.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--California Institute of Integral Studies, 2009.

This theoretical dissertation was an investigation of psychological literature to research the underdeveloped topic of psychological surrender and compare it to ego defense. An extensive review of ego defense literature includes specialized focus on theoretical controversies. The sparse, disconnected literature on surrender was bound and analyzed, revealing themes that collectively describe the nature of the phenomenon. Integration of literature on ego development, ego strength, positive psychology, and systems theory enabled a broader framework within which to theorize. A conceptual theory of the overall nature of defenses was constructed, and it is posited that defenses can develop beyond the stage of maturity. A conceptual theory and developmental model of surrender were generated, and core nomenclature was established. Surrender is not defeat; it is concluded to be a transformative psychological phenomenon that is oriented toward learning, works in service of the innate desire to grow, is motivated by curiosity, and is a distinct alternative to defenses as a response to anxiety and conflict It was determined that surrender and defenses work in dynamic synergy in the process of sociocultural and psychological development. Numerous, specific suggestions are offered for future research efforts.
