Question

Which of the following is a stage/feature of psychoanalytic therapy?

• A. Free association
• B. Stage of resistance
• C. Both (A) and (B)
• D. None of these

Hint:

Freud toolkit: free association, resistance, transference, interpretation, working through.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Classic Freudian analysis uses free association to surface unconscious material. As treatment unfolds, clients commonly manifest resistance (avoidance/defensiveness) that must be interpreted and worked through. Hence, both are integral elements of psychoanalytic therapy.
