Question

Zybrea Knight · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The correct assumption that does not align with the vast majority of psychodynamic theorists is that counselors project onto the client interrelational patterns from earlier unresolved issues. This statement describes countertransference, a concept in psychotherapy, but it is not a foundational assumption of psychodynamic theory regarding the nature of personality or the therapeutic process. Psychodynamic theories focus on the client's internal dynamics, not the therapist's projections.
