Strengths
Takes all experiences into account
Unique method to uncovering unconscious thoughts
Useful as it can uncover manifestations of underlying conflicts between the ID and superego.
Idiographic approach – treats each patient as an individual
Slide10Evaluation
WeaknessesInappropriate for certain people as it may reinforce thoughts that are already obsessive.Highly subjective and unfalsifiable.
Due to complicated nature of explanation for disorder, unable to give a clear point for when a patient has been “cured”
Lengthy and time consuming
Criticised for trauma it causes patients – looking back in depth at negative childhood experiences
