Psychoanalysis is best suited for individuals who have good verbal skills and are able to engage in reflection and introspection. Well-educated individuals are often able to benefit from this type of treatment as they are more likely to be able to engage in the process and articulate their thoughts and feelings.

Option B would likely benefit more from a more immediate and short-term approach such as cognitive-behavioral therapy.
