Answer:
Freud and his contemporaries viewed conversion symptoms as the result of:
C. the transfer of psychic energy attached to repressed emotions or memories to physical symptoms.
Explanation:
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the father of psychoanalysis.
According to Freud and other specialists, conversion symptoms are physical symptoms unrelated to any diseases. For example, someone seems to have lost the ability to use his right hand. After undergoing examination and tests, nothing wrong is found, at least physically speaking. Freud believed that that symptom was indicative of repressed feelings or memories, as if the body were manifesting something trapped in that person's unconscious mind.
Answer:
benefits; costs
Explanation:
The theory of social exchange proposes that all relationships are formed, maintained, or broken due to a cost-benefit analysis. It leads us to make comparisons of alternatives raised and, finally, to opt for those relationships that offer us a greater benefit at a lower cost.
This theory has been highly valued among behaviorist paradigms in that it can be quantified and measured for its simplicity. Over time, and with the emergence of cognitive and constructivist paradigms, it became obsolete.
Answer:
The best answer to the question: Mark is in the _____ of the dissolution of his relationship, would be: Social phase.
Explanation:
When two people end a relationship, or are in the process of doing so, there are a series of steps that they take in order to make the transition easier, and as little traumatica as it can be for each of the two involved. One such reaction, or step, comes when either, or both, of the partners involved in the traumatic event of breakup, start looking for support from the networks around them, such as friends, family, coworkers, and other people. This step is almost like a defense mechanism in which the person seeks to ensure support is on his/her side, so that the consequences of taking such a step as ending a relationship do not become added with the guilt of having been the one to cause the situation. Mark, is clearly doing this. He is garnering the help and support of those around him so that they understand what happened, at least what he says happened, and support his decision. This is characteristic of the social phase.
