The psychodynamic model of abnomality


This model suggests that the cause of mental disorders arise from unresolved unconscious conflicts and traumas of early childhood and in problems with personality development.
 Whilst this model has offered insights into anxiety disorders and changed the perception f mental illness, it has been criticized in that:
      -It is difficult to disprove and thus has been criticized for being unscientific.
      -It may focus too much on the past, rather than the preset.
      -It may focus too much on sexual problems rather than interpersonal and social issues.
      -It raises ethical concerns about the problems of false memory syndrome, sexism and parental blame.
