b. his data was not gathered in a systematic fashion.
c. he made very few attempts to verify the accuracy of his patients' reports.
d. his sample of subjects was small and unrepresentative of the general population.


ANS: A
FEEDBACK: A fundamental criticism of Freud's case studies involves the nature of his data. It does not rely on objective observation, the data are not gathered in systematic fashion. Freud made few attempts to verify the accuracy of a patient's stories. Another criticism of Freud's research is that it is based on a small and unrepresentative sample of people.
