1.I believe that the client has an unconscious desire to hurt her sister, which is causing her great anxiety and resulting in her stomach problems.

Answer 1

Answer: Psychodynamic therapy

Psychoanalysis (or psychodynamic therapy) is based on Freud's ideas. He was all about how we have subconscious drives and urges (usually sexual or aggressive in nature) that manifest themselves as physical problems. In this case, the therapist is claiming that the client has the aggressive urge to hurt her sister. which is causing her anxiety and stomach problems.
