This work relates Ulrich Moser's pioneering work on cognitive-affective processes to current approaches in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and machine psychology. Building on Moser's psychoanalytic models, in particular his insights into defense mechanisms such as repression and projection, this paper examines how these processes can be realized with the Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System (NARS). By integrating principles of continuous learning and adaptation, machine psychology provides a framework for modeling human-like cognitive and emotional processes in AGI systems.
In addition, this paper explores the use of social robotics as an interactive interface for virtual patients, for example in the context of psychotherapy training. Through their multimodal communication skills, social robots enable the simulation of psychological »defense mechanisms« in real time and provide a rich, realistic environment for therapists dealing with adaptive AGI-driven virtual patients. This interdisciplinary approach deepens our understanding of defense mechanisms and therapeutic interactions while pushing the boundaries of what AGI can do to support mental health interventions.
