Unit 8 – Clinical Psychology
Topic 8.8
What is a possible counterargument to the psychodynamic perspective's emphasis on unresolved childhood conflicts as the primary cause of psychological disorders?
Childhood traumas and conflicts don't exist; they're constructs created by psychoanalysts.
Unresolved childhood conflicts lead to physical illnesses, not psychological disorders.
Some people maintain healthy mental states despite traumatic childhood experiences, raising questions about other determining factors.
All psychological disorders are rooted in genetic predispositions, not childhood trauma.
