Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The parents need to understand that the child's behavior is not uncommon. Imaginary friends are common in the preschool-age child. The child's behavior is not abnormal. The child does not have a deep-set psychological need. The child is not at risk for social isolation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
An Electra complex is the attachment of a preschool girl to her father. This phenomenon in preschoolers is a normal part of maturing. Oedipus complex is the attachment of a preschool-age boy to his mother. There is not one specific Freudian complex. There is not an identified sexual identification complex.
