...Psychodynamic Personality Theories Analysis Amy Demarest, Teresa Grant, Erica Hodges, Richard Mitchell, Janette Ortega PSY 405 May 28, 2012 Dr. Barry Brooks Psychodynamic Personality Theories Analysis The most popular Psychodynamic Personality Theories developed in psychology all have strengths and limitations in explaining individual’s behavior. Some of these theories are stronger than others in explaining behavior because they have more supporting evidence. Individuals differ from one another; each with unique personalities.

(Weissman, Markowitz, and Klerman, 2007). One of the tasks of therapy is to define the context in which the client is experiencing the most distress and then focus on improving his or her interpersonal interactions, which will then help to improve mood states and emotional regulation. IPT focuses on affects within the interpersonal context, there is no homework, and the therapist is focused on the client’s life outside of therapy, not his or her internal world. The IPT therapist is warm, positive, and hopeful. They are active and supportive, and take an expert role in therapy. They know and understand that the client is “sick” and want the client to feel confident that recovery is possible. (Bateman,...
