Summary
Summary
Of all the many approaches to psychology, the psychodynamic comes closest to what the layperson expects from psychology. It tackles issues central to human experience including how our relationship with our parents affects our adult relationships, why men and women are different and why we dream. The psychodynamic approach is also however the most misunderstood and misrepresented in psychology, and 'Freud-bashing' has become a popular academic sport. The aim of Psychodynamic Psychology is to cut through the dogma and to provide a clear and balanced review of the major psychodynamic theories and their practical applications.
