Question

Sigmund Freud learned about his patients by conducting experiments in his laboratory.

Answer 1

Answer:

This is: False

Explanation:

Freud learned about his patients using the psychoanalytical method, and not by conducting laboratory experiments. The psychoanalytical method involves clients telling the therapist about their childhood memories, dreams, desires and relationships so that the therapist can uncover the client's unconscious thoughts, feelings and beliefs that might be influencing the client's behavior and leading to mental illness.

The psychoanalytical technique involves making unconscious behaviors, thought, beliefs and emotions conscious so that clients can face them and work through them with the guidance of the therapist. Therefore Freud, sought to learn about and cure treating mental illness in his clients by working through the root cause of their- childhood experiences and traumas, unconscious patterns, suppressed feelings, etc.
