Freud’s Bones-the game: Achievements and Psychoanalytic Sessions Solution

First of all, some advice:

1) Let’s repeat it again: much of the fun in the game is getting to make the right diagnoses. Even if it is very difficult try to do it yourself and consult the guide only as a last option.

2) The game has tons of save slots. Use them, especially before taking on a new case.

3) Some achievements are related to Freud’s reputation or other choices to make in the game. So you will need to play more runs to unlock everything.

Prodigal pupil

You have to make a perfect analysis with Jung.
(check section on psychoanalysis sessions)

Virginia: the lost vestal
“You discovered the story of Virginia.”
You must be successful in Jung’s analysis

Never smoke, even if the stress builds. If you have to choose, go for cocaine.

United States of Freud
“The Americans want you to teach!”
You must reach an high enough reputation level to receive the proposal.

Sigmund Potter!
“You have unlocked the maximum fame level.”
You will have to solve all the cases with the maximum score, get the most out of the lenders (see appropriate section) and always choose career-enhancing options, such as accepting social evenings at Eckmann cafè, interviews, as well as choosing book covers. In this regard, we recommend a classic cover for “The Interpretation of Dreams” and a provocative one for “Obsessions, phobias and paranoia”.

A curious smoker
“You smoked all kinds of cigars.”
The first evening, you decide to spend it at the Eckmann café, but first go to the cigar shop and buy all kinds of ones. Remember to make enough money by analyzing and convincing lenders. As soon as your stress level demands it, smoke a cigar, each time different.

The weaver of souls
“You saved all your patients.”
You will have to solve all cases perfectly. Wait to see all the endings about the patients.
(check section on psychoanalysis sessions)

The oracle in ruins!
“All your patients are collapsed into a spiral of pain.”
You will have to completely fail all cases. Wait to see all the endings about the patients.
(check section on psychoanalysis sessions)

Each of the various cases involves three phases:
-The session with the patient.
-The formulation of the diagnosis.
-The proposal of therapy.

The first phase is the crucial one, because it provides the data for the second, which in turn will allow us to formulate a therapy depending on how many correct deductions we will be able to make.
To get the perfect case solution it is therefore necessary to pay the utmost attention from the first phase.
In the therapy session we will have to decide which line of investigation to take. The order of the questions is also important as some of them should only be asked when the patient’s level of confidence is high enough. The amount of money paid by the patient at the end of the session will tell us how good the session was. Only with 50 shillings will we have the certainty of having obtained all the data.
In the data interpretation phase we will have to choose which meaning to give to the patient’s words and establish the type of disorder from which he is affected (hysteria, neurosis, …)
In the third phase, the amount of treatment options available will reveal to us how good our conduct was during the case. Not having therapeutic proposals or having only one will mean a total failure in resolving the case. Having two will mean you have made some mistakes. With three we will be sure that we have helped the patient but not that we have revealed every secret about him. Only in this way, and also by giving the right therapy, will we achieve the perfect analysis, visible in the ending.
