Results: Using stepwise regression indicated that positive Parental Engagement significantly would be able to predict ALN and mature defense mechanisms and immature defense mechanisms. Positive paternal engagement & negative paternal engagement significantly predict ALN and Mature defense mechanisms. And also, negative paternal engagement, can predict IA and ECG. The good provider role subscale of fathering scale would be able to predict of SI of object relation factors and of Neurotic defense mechanism. This subscale with negative paternal engagement can predict SI
