he is not in a psychological state

Hola María,
Planteabas en otra pregunta que tú dirías
'no se encuentra en ningún (tipo de) estado psicológico'.
Supongo que te refieres a este caso.

Aunque ya hayas cerrado aquí, tengo la sensación de que estado psicológico, sin más, se queda corto en este contexto al expresarlo en castellano. En castellano se suele referir como estados psicológicos especiales precisamente a aquellos contextos mentales y emocionales que pueden condicionar el tipo de conductas y respuestas de los sujetos. Específicamente, el original se refiere (aunque indirectamente) al estado de negación. En tanto que tal, y si el contexto permite tal relación, "ningún tipo de estado psicológico" podría funcionar. Personalmente sin embargo no dudaría en utilizar "estado psicológico especial" en este caso.
¡Saludos!

Because he has likely been chastised many times before for his problem behaviors, he’s well aware that others view it as unacceptable. However, he’s not prepared to submit himself to the standard of conduct others want him to adopt. He is also very aware of the likely consequences the hall monitor has in store for him. He may not want to face those consequences just as much as he doesn’t want to change his style. So, his best bet is to try and convince the hall monitor that she is in error, that she didn’t see what she thought she saw, that she has him judged all wrong, that she should back off. In short, when Jeff is denying, he’s not defending in any way, he’s mainly fighting.

Sería bueno saber lo que viene antes.
