  Strengths :

Psychodynamic theory has several strengths that account for it to be responsive throughout modern psychological thought. First, the impact of childhood on adult personality and mental health is explained. Second, the innate drives that motivate our behavior are explored. It is in this way that she takes psychodynamic theory into account for both sides of the nature / culture debate. On the one hand, it points out the way in which unconscious mental processes are born influencing their thoughts, feelings and behavior. On the other hand, it highlights the influence of childhood relationships and experiences on later development.

Weaknesses :

Despite its advantages, psychodynamic theory has a number of weaknesses, too. In the first place, critics often accuse it of being too deterministic, and therefore it can be denied that people can exercise conscious and free will. In other words, by emphasizing the unconscious and the roots of personality in childhood experience, psychodynamic theory suggests that behavior is pre-determined and ignores the possibility that people have personal action.

Explanation:

When speaking of psychodynamic theories we are therefore speaking of a heterogeneous set of perspectives that have their origin in conceptions of mental processes derived from psychoanalysis.

In this sense, all of them share with Freudian theory the idea that there are intrapsychic conflicts between the conscious and the unconscious, one of the main objectives of therapy being to contribute to making the patient able to understand and manage the unconscious content ( bringing it to consciousness).

In addition, psychodynamic theories also consider the existence of defense strategies and mechanisms used by the psyche to minimize the suffering generated by these conflicts, and they agree that the psychic structure and personality are formed during childhood from satisfaction or dissatisfaction of needs.

Psychodynamic theories and therapies are multiple. Some of the best known are listed below:
