Question

Stacey Claridge · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Freud believed that psychological disturbances arose from personal conflicts existing at an unconscious level, specifically conflicts between the id, ego, and superego. These conflicts often stem from early childhood experiences, and result in defense mechanisms that keep the unconscious conflicts from reaching conscious awareness. Freud's theory of psychoanalysis was aimed at resolving these unconscious conflicts in order to alleviate psychological disturbances.
