Why is traditional psychoanalysis impractical today in treating most patients- both adults and children?
  1. The length of the treatment and prohibitive costs.
  2. Clients’ inability to remember events in their lives taking place many years ago.
  3. De-emphasis on psychoanalytic theory in the curriculum such that psychologists are no longer qualified to practice psychoanalysis.
  4. Clients not being given enough guidance and direction in therapy.
Explanation
Answer: A - Traditional psychoanalysis has been widely criticized for many reasons, but the one factor that, more than anything else, makes it too impractical for most people seeking therapy is the length of treatment and prohibitive cost. In today’s busy world, people don’t have the time or money to spend years in therapy; they want to see results quickly.
