| Question | Answer |
| Personality component that works to satisfy basic urges, needs and desires? | Id |
| Personality component that mediates the demands of the 'Id' and 'Superego'? | Ego |
| Personality component that is composed of our internalized ideals... tries to suppress the 'Id' and make the 'Ego' behave morally? | Superego |
| How can having 'cold' and 'uncaring' parents cause schizophrenia? | The ego deploys defense mechanisms, resulting in a weak ego that 'shatters' under the strain... leaving the Id in control |
| What defense mechanism will the ego deploy to protect a person from emotional trauma? | Regression to an earlier stage of development... in the case of schizophrenia the 'oral stage' |
| How will 'regression' to the 'oral stage' of development cause schizophrenia? | An individual will become so focused on themselves they lose touch with reality and become unable to distinguish between their actual needs and fanatsies |
| In the psychodynamic approach, what does 'EE' stand for? | Expressed emotion - referring to emotional tension |
| The Family System Theory: Fromm-Reichman (1948) | Schizophrenia is caused by families with a high 'EE', or 'schizophrenic' families with high emotional tension, secrets, conflict ETC... |
| Research into the Family system theory: Brown et al (1966) | Found that 10% of schizophrenia suffers returning to 'low EE' homes relapsed... while 58% of those returning to 'high EE' homes relapsed |
| Research into the psychodynamic approach: Waring and Ricks (1995) | Mothers of schizophrenia suffers tend to be anxious, shy and withdrawn... rather than cold and uncaring |
| Evaluative Point - Biological Therapies | The success of biological therapies (e.g. DRUGS) suggests that the Freudian approach may not be adequate |
| Evaluation Point - Falsifiability | Very little of psychodynamic perspective cannot be proven or disproven... as such it lacks empirical evidence :( |
| Evaluation Point - The Family? | Research has shown that schizophrenics can still relapse even when kept away from their families. So is the family the real trigger for schizophrenia? |
