Sigmund Freud's work using hypnosis to cure patients made him realize that many of his patients' symptoms had mental, not physical, causes and this led to the development of psychoanalysis

Indicate whether this statement is true or false.

Answer: True

Rationale: Freud was interested in how hypnosis seemed to cure several patients of hysterical paralysis—a condition in which an individual loses feeling and control in a specific body part, despite the lack of any known neurological damage or disease. These experiences led Freud to believe that unconscious processes were responsible for his patients' symptoms and to develop his famous approach, called psychoanalysis.
