D. (1) the therapist suggesting sexual abuse; (2) through hypnotism, relaxation or guided visualizations, "repressed memories" are found; (3) the client then goes through a repertoire of suspects before reaching the final conclusion that usually a parent is the abuser; (4) the client confronts the parent who deny any such action; and finally, (5) the client disowns his or her parent or perhaps both parents
E. The strength of the scientific evidence for repression depends on exactly how the term is defined. When defined narrowly as intentional suppression of an experience, there is little reason to doubt that it exists. But when we talk about a repression mechanism that operates unconsciously and defensively to block out traumatic experiences, there is no scientific evidence to substantiate the efficacy of repressed memory.
F. 1. reading about sexual abuse, 2. dwelling on the images, 3. creating visualizations, 4. questioning abuse, and 5. self-analyzing that results in exclusion of other options
