Similarities:
1. Internal Processes: Both emphasize internal processes (thoughts in cognitive, unconscious drivesin psychodynamic).
2. Reductionism Both can exhibit reductionist tendencies; cognitive reduces behaviour to cognitive processes, and psychodynamic to unconscious drives.
Differences:
1. Scientific Basis: The cognitive approach is mostly scientific, using empirical methods, while the psychodynamic approach is not scientific and relies on subjective interpretation.
2. Determinism: Cognitive approach suggests soft determinism with some free will, while psychodynamic approach suggests psychic determinism driven by unconscious forces.
