psychodynmic

• more holisitc as it considers both nature (lildo) and nurture(psychosexual stages) which is a strength as it takes a more complex view
• dream analysis is not a therapy used in clinical psychology and it has limited evidence (Falk and Hill)
• can be critised for psychic determinism eg. needy adult may have fixation caused by over indulgence at oral stage which implies behaviour is inevitable and ignores free will
• can be critised for being unscientific as freuds theories were unfalsifiable eg. tripartatite personality so they are less respected and trusted
