    Approaches to Psychological Disorders

    • The biopsychosocial approach considers the onset, risk, and etiological factors of psychological disorders, integrating biological, psychological, and social influences.
    • Clinical psychology primarily uses the diagnostic and statistical method for the analysis of psychological disorders, assessing symptoms based on standardized criteria.

    Psychodynamic Theoretical Frameworks

    • Psychodynamic frameworks aim to explain the unconscious processes that influence behavior, emphasizing the role of early childhood experiences and internal conflicts.
    • Key factors in the psychodynamic approach include unresolved conflicts, dynamic interactions of the id, ego, and superego, and the impact of attachment styles on behavior.

    Ego and Object Relations Theory

    • The object relations theory focuses on the dynamics of clinical disturbances through the lens of the ego and its interactions with significant external objects (people or relationships).
