Abstract
Denial, as a psychological construct, refers to both a coping strategy and a defense mechanism mobilized in the face of impending stressful situations and potentially traumatic life experiences [1]. Reported empirical data, obtained from research on the relationship between the use of denial-type coping and psychosocial adaptation to chronic illness and disability (CID), have typically shown that individuals who rely mostly on denial, as a coping strategy to reduce the impact of their CID (e.g. functional limitations, pain), largely demonstrate, although not exclusively, poor adaptation to their medical conditions [2-5].
