Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: There were discrepancies between Freud's notes on his therapy sessions and the case histories he published, which supposedly were based on these notes. The published version of a particular case did not agree with the notes Freud made after his sessions with the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: A criticism of Freud's research is that it is based on a small and unrepresentative sample of people, restricted to himself and those who sought psychoanalysis with him. It is difficult to generalize from this limited sample to the population at large.
