SOCW 8110 WU Psychodynamic Theories and Conflict Theories Discussion

Although Sigmund Freud is hailed as the father of psychodynamic theory and has since paved the way for other theorists to formulate different strains, Freud?s original theory is not without criticisms. Many argue that this theory is (a) sexist, (b) deterministic, (c) not sensitive to diversity, and (d) lacking in scientific evidence. Because of these criticisms, his theory is still very controversial.Often, controversial topics lead to heated debates. As a scholar-practitioner, you will inevitably enter provocative debates and will need to engage with objectivity. What this means is that you enter the discourse using research evidence rather than personal opinions.In this Discussion, you practice objectivity while examining the criticisms levied against Freud?s psychodynamic theory.Post:ReferencesRobbins, S.
