If Kelly had worked with schizophrenics in a mental institution during his formative professional years, _____
a. his theory would not have emphasized the ultimate human goal of self-actualization
b. he would have had his clients discuss their concerns rationally and in intellectual terms
c. he would have used Freud's psychoanalytic therapy to cure mental illnesses
d. his theory might not have depended so heavily on cognitive information-processing abilities
ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Unlike the emotionally maladjusted patients in a psychiatric ward or a psychoanalyst's office, Kelly's clients were much more capable of discussing their concerns rationally, of expressing their problems in intellectual terms, the level of functioning expected in an academic setting. Had circumstances placed Kelly during his formative professional years at work with schizophrenics in a mental institution, his theory might not have depended so heavily on cognitive information-processing abilities.
