Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Freud primarily worked with upper-class individuals, so Sue, a wealthy woman suffering from sexual repression, is the most likely candidate to be one of Freud's patients. Additionally, sexual repression was a common area of focus for Freudian therapy. The other options do not provide enough information to determine if they would be likely patients for Freud.
