Discussion
During psychodynamic psychotherapy, some clients become silent during the therapy session, miss appointments, and come late for therapy sessions. This phenomenon is known as:
Answer: B
This behaviour is unconscious resistance. In psychodynamic therapy clients sometimes resist the process, by turning silent, missing appointments or coming late, without being aware that they are doing so. It protects against the painful material that the therapy would bring out. If it were conscious, the client would be deliberately avoiding the sessions, and 'delinquency' is not the psychodynamic term for this phenomenon.
Resistance is an unconscious defence: the client does not know why he or she is silent, late or absent, and the therapist tries to interpret it.
