Explanation

The psychodynamic perspective emphasizes unconscious drives, conflicts, and the influence of early childhood experiences on behavior. It aims to help people understand how unconscious processes shape conscious choices, and it often considers sexual and aggressive impulses. A focus on self-awareness and self-direction is more characteristic of the humanistic perspective, so statement B is not true.
