What occurs during isolation of affect?

  1. The emotional charge is intensified

  2. A strong attachment is formed

  3. An impulse is separated from its original memory, removing the emotional charge

  4. Emotions are fully expressed

The correct answer is: An impulse is separated from its original memory, removing the emotional charge

During isolation of affect, an individual's emotional response or reaction to a certain event is separated from the original memory or trigger. This means that the emotional charge is no longer attached to the original event, allowing for a more objective and rational understanding of the situation. Option A is incorrect because isolation of affect does not intensify emotions, but rather separates them. Option B is incorrect because isolation of affect does not involve forming attachments, but rather detaching emotions. Option D is incorrect because isolation of affect specifically separates the emotional charge from the situation, rather than allowing for full expression of emotions.
