4.1.6 Psychoanalysis, including free association and dream analysis, transference and counter transference, and the object relations school of thought.
Use - psychoanalysis to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.
This matters because - psychoanalysis determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.
Example: apply - psychoanalysis to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.
Boundary: - Psychoanalysis is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
