  1. Hello, My name is LaToya Comings,
  2. and I'm a doctoral student at the Simmons University.
  3. Today I will be doing a Ted talk on the topic of psychodynamic theory.
  4. What a psychodynamic theory.
  5. Psychodynamic theory, simply put, is a theory of personality,
  6. which was originated by Sigmund Freud.
  7. The psychodynamic theory states that our childhood experiences
  8. are crucial in shaping our adult personality.
  9. What does this mean?
  10. Simply put,
  11. the abuse, the neglect,
  12. the trauma and even the fear that we have experienced as Children
  13. are all factors that shape our personality the way we think,
  14. act and behave as adults.
  15. Freud strongly believe that events that occurred in our early childhood
  16. life can remain in the unconscious and cause problems as adults.
  17. The theory implies that people can be cured
  18. if these repressive or unconscious thoughts were to be made conscious.
  19. However, many clinicians opposed his theory
  20. because it tends to show a lack of diversity, inclusion and equity.
  21. The theory basically lack inclusion of women,
  22. lord class and homosexual population.
  23. Because of this,
  24. many experts believe that fluid lacked a sense of cultural competence,
  25. and his work was not inclusive to ethnic and cultural diverse group of people
  26. the assumptions of the psychodynamic theory.
  27. What's basically states that our childhood
  28. experiences is what shapes our personality
  29. does not align with a deep part framework.
  30. For instance, let's look at the principle of inclusion.
  31. The lack of the lack of um, including certain populations such as women,
  32. lower class and even
  33. homosexual
  34. shows that this framework does not cater to everyone.
  35. Equity is not shown because everyone is
  36. not afforded the same opportunity as Children.
  37. So it is basically unfair to use
  38. an assumption such as your childhood experience shapes,
  39. the way you are and your personality as an adult.
  40. Some ways in which we can shift this theory into
  41. a more socially just model is by improving cultural competence.
  42. Former 2018 suggests that the essence of
  43. cultural competence involves a scientific mindfulness,
  44. which then encourages therapists
  45. to resist
  46. and to resist any premature conclusions that they may have,
  47. or any biases that they may have for clients
  48. who come from a different social background, social cultural background.
  49. So
  50. some additional ways in which the psychodynamic theory can
  51. be more socially just is also evolving in the forward progress
  52. by eliminating certain concepts from from therapy and certain frameworks and
