Freud’s theories of the workings of the mind, while brilliant for their day, were
formulated before most of this century’s great advances in neurophysiology and
biochemistry. Today, we have a far deeper understanding of the biological
components of thought, emotion, and behavior than was dreamed of eighty years
ago. It would be foolish to continue parroting Freud’s psychological theories as if
these advances had never occurred.
It can be inferred from the passage above that the author would be most likely to
favor
(A) the abandonment of most of Freud’s theories
(B) a greater reliance on biological rather than psychological explanations of
behavior
(C) a critical reexamination of Freud’s place in the history of psychology
(D) a reexamination of Freud’s theories in the light of contemporary biology
(E) increased financial support for studies in neurophysiology and biochemistry
OA is D
could OA be correct. AN Expert view please, very urgent.Thanks
