Question:
In the psychodynamic therapy, ______________________ lead to intrapsychic conflicts.
Options:
unfulfilled desires of childhood and unresolved childhood fears
faulty learning and faulty thinking
sense of futility of one’s existence
Both 1 and 2
Correct Answer:
unfulfilled desires of childhood and unresolved childhood fears
Explanation:
In the psychodynamic therapy, unfulfilled desires of childhood and unresolved childhood fears lead to intrapsychic conflicts. The behaviour therapy postulates that faulty conditioning patterns, faulty learning, and faulty thinking and beliefs lead to maladaptive behaviours that, in turn, lead to psychological problems. The existential therapy places importance on the present. It is the current feelings of loneliness, alienation, sense of futility of one’s existence, etc., which cause psychological problems.
