Both, sort of.

the Generic rules for Power Defences are in GURPS Powers, and expanded, but setting specific rules are in GURPS Psionic Powers

Does Repeated Attempts apply? I know you can only Power Defend once per turn, but does the -1 apply to defend future attacks from the same target? You mention in the section about Power Defense that modifiers from Using Psionic Skills are applied before halving, so I figured this was one of the things you were referencing. What about Multiple Feats or Additional Contact? Do those apply to Power Defenses?

Looking at the relevant text in Powers, I'd assume that Repeated Attempts would apply to Power Defenses. I personally wouldn't usually bother.

The Psionic Powers text on pp8-9 does imply that *all* the modifiers for Using Psionic Skills apply so I assume it's "Yes" to both of those. I have trouble wrapping my head around how Additional Contact will work with Power Defense, but I guess there could be situations where it might come into play.
