Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Anna Freud proposed refinements in The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense, published in 1936, in which she clarified the operation of the defense mechanisms. The book received widespread praise and is considered a basic work on ego psychology. This is only one of her
significant contributions to psychoanalytic theory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Anna Freud substantially revised orthodox psychoanalysis by greatly expanding the role of the ego, arguing that the ego operates independently of the id. This was a major extension of the Freudian system that involved a fundamental and radical change.
