• Holding Environments at Work (2001, background): “Although some institutional defenses are healthy, enabling people to cope with stress and perform their work, social defenses can obstruct contact with reality, create casualties, and undermine work and learning (Halton, 1994).”
• Identity Workspaces: The Case of Business Schools (2010, background): “Therefore, while they allow the organization to hold together, social defenses limit the organization’s ability to change and learn, distort its relation to the environment, and constrain its members’ capacity for creativity (Bain, 1998; Halton, 1994; Hirschhorn, 1990a; Long, 2006).”
• Resistance to organisational change: the role of defence mechanisms (2001, background): “Unconscious processes arise as individuals respond to the threats of change (Halton, 1994; O’Connor, 1993).”
• The Unwanted Self: Projective Identification in Leaders’ Identity Work (2012, background): “This complements existing work on projective identification in followers’ relatedness to leaders (Gabriel, 1999; Halton, 1994; Schwartz, 1990).”
