Dаn, whо hаs been аdmitted tо the alcоhol rehabilitation unit after being fired for drinking on the job, states to the nurse, "I don't have a problem with alcohol. I can handle my booze better than anyone I know. My boss is a jerk! I haven't missed any more work-days than any of my coworkers." What defense mechanism is Dan using?
