Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is incorrect. The importance of parenting factors in child psychopathology was recognized by Sigmund Freud, not Anna Freud and Melanie Klein. Anna Freud and Melanie Klein were both psychoanalysts who further developed Freud's ideas on child development and the role of early childhood experiences in shaping personality. However, it was not until the 1960s that researchers began to systematically investigate the relationship between parenting practices and child outcomes.
