Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: After several years in clinical practice, Freud was increasingly convinced that sexual conflicts were the primary cause of all neuroses. He claimed that the majority of his women patients reported traumatic sexual experiences from their childhoods.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Freud's mother was very attractive and she was extremely protective and loving toward Sigmund, her first son. Freud felt a passionate, even sexual, attachment to her, a relationship that set the stage for his concept of the Oedipus complex.
