If you have a client who no longer wants to be known as the rich, wealthy businessman, but instead wants to be known as the caring, compassionate activist, your psychoanalytic process would encourage the client to examine:
  1. His connectedness
  2. His ego
  3. His defense mechanisms
  4. His living situation
Explanation
Answer - B - The ego refers to what is known as the “true self.” Defense mechanisms would only be at play if perhaps he were trying to hide his true self from his conscious mind. His living situation may or may not be impacting his choices, but overall, it is his definition of his true self that will drive him forward and continue to let him know whether or not he is achieving nearer to his true self.
