Here is the presentation from this lesson last week - sorry for not posting sooner.
We wrote answers to this question in today's lesson:
"Evaluate Freud's psychodynamic theory of personality."
Homework which was due in today was a short essay evaluating the behavioural approach to abnormality:
"Contrast the behavioural approach with the psychodynamic approach to abnormality."
You should consider these questions while explaining what the differences between the approaches are, and explain which approach is 'better' according to this difference if you can:
- What do they say about the role of the mind (thoughts, memories etc) in the causes of a disorder e.g. depression?
- How do they explain the importance of past experiences?
- What do they have to say about our parents?
- How easy is it to test their ideas / predictions with experiments?
- Can they be accused of over-simplifying a complex issue (being reductionist)?
