Can someone explain the freudian approach - I still don't understand it.

How does fixation occur?
What relationship do the psychosexual stages have to the ID ego and superego

Fixation occurs through traumatic experiences at the stage

Psychodynamic Approach

- There's internal conflict between the Id,Ego and Superego
- If we have too much or too little of the psychosexual stages fixation occurs e.g. if your mother doesnt breastfeed you enough in the future Freud thought that you would have become Fixated and start sucking stuff(something like that I think)

Thats all i really know...

Okay thanks. Do the psychosexuxal stages determine your ID, ego and superego?

Can anyone summarise REBT and its evaluations for me please would be greatly appreciated

shorter period compared to psychoanalysis
very effective in treating depression (longer lasting recovery than antidepressants)
reduces ethical issues - client is involved a lot etc :smile:

I'm not sure if they're all right though

outline the cognitive approach to psychopathology help please!!

The cognitive approach assumes that our irrational thoughts are the reason for abnormality. It was later looked upon by Ellis who developed the ABC model. The A is the activating process. The B is the belief that is either rational or irrational and the C is the consequence which is rational or irrational. For example the A could be a dog. The B could be to be rational and think it's cute or be irrational and think it will kill you. The C is to actually run away which is irrational or to go over and strike the dog. Beck de keeps the cognitive triad which he suggested is what people who are depressed think. The first part is negative thoughts about yourself e.g. You hate yourself, negative thoughts about everyone e.g. Everyone hates me and negative thoughts about the world e.g. The world hates me. The cognitive approach assumes that this is all a way of thinking and that it is possible to simply cure abnormality by not thinking in a certain way and being rational... Correct me if I'm wrong just learned it today

How would you link Minkea's research into Social Learning Theory back to Behavioural approach to abnormality

the study was about baby monkeys who saw older monkeys fear in the presence of snakes and learnt this etc

Like i cant exactly say 'this shows the approach is valid in everyday life' becaue we aren't baby monkeys
