A．Strong positive and negative feelings that cause conflict.
B．Returning to an earlier developmental stage.
C．Meaningless repetition of words.
D．The belief that thoughts or wishes can control other people or events.
答案
参考答案：D
解析：When a client exhibits magical thinking, he believes that his thoughts or wishes can control others or events. For example, the client may believe that through wishing he can make a plane fall from the sky. Ambivalence is the coexistence of positive and negative thoughts. Returning to an earlier stage of development is termed regression. A meaningless repetition of words is called echolalia.
