Psychodynamic Theories

What is it to be human through the lens of psychodynamics? Most

psychodynamic came in the idea from the development of a early life of

childhood, which are in some part of the unconscious. Evolutionists

have recognized that evolutionary psychoanalysis have a big gap

between psychoanalytic theory and the extrospective biological and

social sciences. As for their methods, they observed more closely in

perspective’s contributions and it become very important in

psychodynamic theory to the study of psychology. For psychodynamic

considerations there are four main topics. Reductionism,

falsifiability, universality and retrospective accounts and fallible

memories. As Reductionism is the idea to explain the behaviors of

human reducing the way of explaning the psyche function of

psychodynamic. It is often in literary psychobiographies, which

explains the behavior of some famous person but it cant hurt anyone,

except it might ruin the persons reputation on the subject.

Fasifiability it’s “ theory that is impossible to disconfirm in

principle is not a scientific theory, which you can’t prove it.”

(Tavis & Wade, 2000) This made many of the psychologist theories being

disconfirmed, so they only depends on the popularity of their

proponents than on their content. Universality is what involved with

everyone. An example, “if a gay man goes into therapy for help with

emotional problems, a therapist cannot logically conclude that all gay

men have emotional problems, gay men who are not in therapy would have

to be studied." (Tavis & Wade. 2000) The last topic is the

Retrospective accounts and fallible memories of patients.

Psychodynamic theorists worked in backward that are based on themes in

adult’s recollections of childhood to find the origins of their

emotional problems. "It creates the illusion of causality between the

events." (Tavis & Wade, 2000) As putting together psychodynamic

theories, the tracing of evolution begins from Freud’s and it

influenced on other people like Jung, Horney, Erikson and Adler.

However, Psychodynamic theories are basically the study of human

behavior that includes internal processes, personality, motivation,

drives, and the importance of childhood developments.
