Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the doctor believes Dave's problem is rooted in his childhood and unconscious mind is a clear indication of the psychoanalytic model of abnormality, which emphasizes the role of unconscious conflicts and experiences in shaping behavior and personality. Option A, biological, emphasizes the role of genetics and brain chemistry, Option B, behavioral, emphasizes the role of learning and conditioning, and Option C, cognitive, emphasizes the role of thoughts and beliefs in shaping behavior and emotion. None of these options apply to Dave's case as much as the psychoanalytic model does.
