River. This Study Focuses On Dave Boyle's Childhood Trauma and Defense

This study discusses childhood trauma and defense mechanisms as depicted in the character Dave Boyle from the novel Mystic River. Dave was sexually abused as a child, being held captive for four days by two men. This caused disruption to his sexual development and caused him to develop defense mechanisms. The study uses qualitative methods to analyze Dave's childhood trauma, focusing on the denial, repression, and displacement defense mechanisms he exhibits as a result of his abuse. The study concludes that Dave's personality was disturbed by the abuse he experienced at age 12, and he later grew wary of men who had personal relationships with boys.
