Which of the following perspectives assumes that psychological disorders are due to the repression of one's threatening thoughts and memories in the unconscious mind?

  • A.Cognitive
  • B.Humanistic
  • C.Psychodynamic
  • D.Behaviourism

Answer: C

The psychodynamic perspective assumes that psychological disorders arise from the repression of threatening thoughts and memories in the unconscious mind. The cognitive perspective points to distorted thinking, the humanistic to blocked growth, and behaviourism to learning from the environment. Freud's psychoanalysis is the main example of the psychodynamic perspective, which says that repressed material in the unconscious causes symptoms.
