Question

Dr. Sanchez is a psychoanalyst who is interested in analyzing dreams using Freud’s perspective. As a psychoanalyst, he focuses on interpreting the __________ content of his clients’ dreams in an attempt to understand their unconscious wishes and thoughts that may be expressed symbolically in their dreams. a. latent b. patent c. manifest d. marginal

Answer 1

The correct answer: A) latent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The latent content of a dream refers to a hidden psychological meaning that is symbolic and unconscious and that may also be traumatic or upsetting for the person who is dreaming it (that's why it stays hidden).

From Freud's perspective, analyzing the latent content of a dream is one of the objectives in psychoanalysis to fully get a grasp of the unconscious wishes and needs of an individual.

Answer 2

A. Latent

Step-by-step explanation:

Doctor Sanchez will study the latent content of his client's dreams to better understand their unconscious wishes that may have effect on their dreams.

The word latent means something that exists but is not fully developed.

So if Doctor Sanchez studies the latent content of the dreams, it will help him understand the undeveloped part of the brain and if it affects unconscious thoughts that can be translated to dreams.
