Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carl Rogers is a humanistic therapist who believes in empathetic listening and reflecting back the client's own feelings. In this scenario, Rogers would most likely reflect Freud's distress and show empathy by acknowledging his emotions. Choice A reflects this approach. The other choices focus on childhood experiences, past relationships, or analyzing why Freud needs external validation. While these may be relevant in other situations, they do not address Freud's current distress and would not be Rogers' first approach.
