Final Answer :
Case studies can help us develop a theory of personality,focus on conflicts,traumas,and events in which it is critically important to understand personality.Case studies cannot be replicated with the study of others,may reflect the therapists' personal biases,childhood events may be distorted over time,and are largely related to unconscious events and memories.
