Document Summary
Chapter 1 is straight forward, hazlewood has nothing to add to it (make sure you know application section for every chapter) * people differ from each other, no one is identical. Individual differences in traits and behaviour that are stable over time and consistent across situations. Behavioural perspectives (pavlov, skinner, bandura; p. 41-48) Today"s lecture we"re going to focus on the most in uential and controversial theory in all of psychology: sigmund freud"s psychodynamic perspective (p. 33-39) Freud was the rst to develop a theory on personality. His theory emphasizes one of the rst treatments of psychological disorders. Freud was never trained as a psychologist, he was trained as a medical doctor specializing in neurology. He dealt with patients who suffered with hysteria (symptoms of hysteria are unusual, no physical basis for the symptoms) E. g. ) glove anesthesia (or glove paralysis), patient loses all feeling in hand from wrist down.
