Document Summary
Type approach: there are different types (limited number) and we all have one type. Emphasis on biological bases they are built in and there is little we can do to change it therefore it says nothing about personality development (we have the same personality type from baby 40) Little application in clinical practice because there is no change so it is not useful in therapy. Emphasis on biological factors, we can"t really change our traits (extrovert vs. introvert) therefore very little influence on psychiatry no development. Psychodynamic approach: based on the work of freud. Personality interaction of internal psychic structures. Recognizes the important of biology and experience some parts are built in, but our personality is shaped by interactions we have in the world. Learning, experience and environment = who we are. You can change almost anything development! Manifestation of the self inner unity.
