More than half a century later it enjoys the status of a classic.

Nothing stands still, but \u003ci\u003eThe Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense\u003c\/i\u003e has unmistakably passed the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karnac Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057106436336,"sku":"9781855750388","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781855750388_p0.jpg?v=1763598226","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781855750388","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
