SO helpful, thank you so much! I'm currently about to undertake a Postgrad in Psychodynamic Counselling and it's nice to watch videos that are easy to digest and don't rely on massively academic language!
Really appreciate your comment 😊 Delighted the video has been helpful for your course. Have fun with the postgrad, and I hope some of the other videos on the channel help you along the way!
Heyy i wrote this PEEL evaluation can check it please? Point - psychodynamic approach is pessimistic compared with humanistic approach This meant, is focused on what could go wrong as such fixation of psychosexual stages could lead to problems as an adult compared with humanistic approach which looks at personal growth and achieving to full potential. This is weakness as psychodynamic approach doesn’t focus on positive elements like humanistic approach which place attention on free will and individual growth.
Hey Fatima. Nice effort with the PEEL paragraph. Would suggest altering the middle part: I've improved it slightly below which I hope helps. I would unpack why the psy.dyn approach is pessimistic first, and then make the comparison separately. POINT: The psychodynamic approach ca be criticised for being pessimistic. EXPLAIN: This is because it focuses on what could have gone wrong in the past such as fixation during one of the psychosexual stages which lead to problems as an adult. This negative view of human behaviour contrasts with the humanistic approach which looks at personal growth, achieving our full potential and free will. LINK: Therefore, it could be argued that the psychodynamic approach is limited in its explanation because it only focuses on negative aspects and fails to consider the positive elements like the humanistic approach. Hope that helps.
