Question:
As per existential therapy, which of the following leads to psychological problem?
Options:
feelings of loneliness
feelings of alienation
sense of futility of one’s existence
All of the above
Correct Answer:
All of the above
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.
