After many sessions of psychodynamic therapy, Dan at some point experiences reluctance to cooperate with his therapist and tends to forget to do what his therapist had suggested to him. Dan is experiencing ____________
A) resistance
B) desensitization
C) transference
D) free association
Answer: A
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 Dan's behavior that indicates transference has occurred.
