a. They remained close friends all their lives.
b. Freud was Adler's teacher, mentor, and well-wisher.
c. Adler was psychoanalyzed by Freud.
d. Their association ended in hostility.

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Adler was an increasingly vocal critic of the Freudian theory. He severed all connection with psychoanalysis and went on to develop his own approach to personality. Freud reacted angrily to Adler's defection by belittling him and his theory. Adler showed similar hostility toward Freud, calling him a swindler and denouncing psychoanalysis as filth. Adler became irate whenever he was introduced or referred to as a student of Freud's.
