Psychoanalytical therapists use which of the following techniques? Choose all that apply.
  1. Free association
  2. Interpretation
  3. Experiential activities
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answers: A and B - Free association, and interpretation are frequently used techniques in psychoanalysis. Free association means the client speaks freely, and openly about whatever comes to mind without restriction; therapist interpretation is integral to psychoanalysis, because although the therapist spends the majority of the session maintaining silence, he or she offers interpretations, which are carefully timed to challenge inconsistencies, or explore any resistance.
