Kelly has been in therapy with Dr. Williams for 2 months when she suddenly starts skipping appointments because she got angry at some of her therapist's questions. Even when in session, she tends to blankly stare at the therapist
This is best explained by ____________.
A) free association
B) resistance
C) transference
D) working through
Answer: B
Rationale: According to Freud, psychoanalysis patients engage in what he called resistance—a tendency to avoid directly answering crucial questions posed by the therapist. Patients may get angry at the analyst, or even become cynical about the whole process. While transference can play a role in this behavior as well, there is nothing in the description of Kelly's behavior that indicates transference has occurred.
