Noha’s therapist proposes that Noha created multiple identities as a way to engage in inappropriate behavior without experiencing intense guilt. This explanation best aligns with which psychological perspective?

Explanation

The therapist’s suggestion that Noha’s dissociative identity disorder serves to avoid deep feelings of shame by splitting off identities reflects the psychoanalytic perspective, which emphasizes unconscious conflicts and defense mechanisms. Other perspectives, like social-cognitive, biological, or humanistic, do not focus on unconscious processes in this way.
