Explanation / Answer

The answer is c. "an M.S.W.". this is so as a master's in social work provides a training and internship period with theoretical knowledge. The answer is "b". Free association is one of the most prominent methods established and used by Freud and was meant to replace hypnosis. In free association, the patient speaks their true self out rather than filtering and evaluating all of their responses, feelings, and state of mind. (Behavior Therapy is one related to B.F.Skinner and related to learning rather than unconscious adaptations, gestalt therapy was developed after Freud, he was regarded as a bad guy rather than being nice due to his focus on childhood and sexual innuendoes. the answer is "d". The defense mechanisms were described by Freud as innate mechanisms that help us deal with our anxieties and impulses to protect our ego. For example, using denial mechanism when someone leaves us suddenly, but believing they haven't left by setting up dinner plates for them or calling them up. The answer is "b". As in the world, everyone tries to adjust their needs in accordance with the environmental or other barriers/obstacles so as to strike a balance and maintain equilibrium such that the needs could be met in accordance to the resources or adjustments required. the answer is "b". This is so as to counter and hide their anxieties. for eg: a person trying to be mean and rude to someone they like so as to conceal their feelings of love. ( a.it is acting out ,b. it is projection, c. it is denial) The answer is "d". This is so as in a projective personality test, unambiguous or ambiguous images are shown and answers to those images are used to understand a person's personality or check of abnormalities in patterns of thinking or behaving.
