AP Psychology
Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
Topic 6.7
Why might some critics argue against psychodynamic theories' explanation of sexual orientation?
They emphasize too much on societal conditioning while explaining an individual's sexual preference/choice/attraction/direction/orientation..
They give too much weightage to conscious choice rather than subconscious drives when it comes to sexuality determination process.
They heavily rely on unresolved parental conflicts and may stigmatize non-heterosexual orientations as pathological or abnormal developments.
They entirely reject any potential biological influences on sexual orientation development.
