A) therapist suggests focusing on the superego alone
B) therapist focusses on breaking through psychological defenses
C) client is hypnotized by the therapist
D) client and the therapist usually sit face to face

Modern psychodynamic therapies differ from traditional psychoanalysis in that the client and the therapist usually sit face to face, which promotes a more collaborative and interactive relationship between the two. In contrast, traditional psychoanalysis relied on the therapist being seated behind the client, which created a power dynamic that inhibited interaction and communication. Additionally, modern psychodynamic therapies often focus on breaking through psychological defenses and exploring unconscious material, but not necessarily on the superego exclusively. Hypnosis is also not a central component of modern psychodynamic therapies.
