Solution

Dr. Smith is working from the Psychodynamic framework. This approach, developed by Freud, suggests that many of our behaviors and preferences are shaped by forces that we are not consciously aware of. These forces, or memories, are stored in our subconscious and can be repressed if they are too disturbing or traumatic to remember. This seems to be the case with Rose, who does not remember the abuse from her childhood.
