Explanation:

• Question 16: Prefrontal lobotomy is an outdated and invasive procedure, now rarely used due to serious side - effects and availability of better treatments. Electroconvulsive therapy, drug treatment, and behavioral therapy are still commonly used for mental health issues.
• Question 17: Many antidepressant drugs work by reducing the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, increasing its availability in the synaptic cleft. Blocking dopamine receptors is not the main mechanism for most antidepressants. Acetylcholine is not directly related to the main action of antidepressants, and inhibiting the medulla and pons would have life - threatening consequences.
• Question 18: In psychoanalysis, "working through" allows patients to review and revise their responses to childhood conflicts. It is not mainly about expressing positive or negative transference, nor is it just about receiving the analyst's interpretation.

Answer:

Question 16: prefrontal lobotomy
Question 17: reducing the reuptake of serotonin in the brain
Question 18: a chance to review and revise their response to childhood conflicts
