Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: In addition to the flaws in the case study approach, Freud's primary method of research, some argue that Freud placed too great an emphasis on instinctual biological forces as determinants of personality.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: The trend away from orthodox psychoanalysis in the United States has also been reinforced by the managed-care approach to total health care. It is considerably less costly for insurance companies to approve a treatment regimen that involves simply prescribing a drug rather than a course of psychoanalysis that might last several years.
