Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the controversies of Sigmund Freud

1. Too much emphasis on sex as a primary force in human behavior.
2. Too much emphasis on unconscious forces in behavior.
3. Thinking that toilet training, breast feeding, and early experience was all in determining later human behavior.
4. The failure to recognize plasticity in human behavior and ability to change.
5. Faulty and inadequate research methods.
6. Too much theorizing on the basis of too little actual data.
7. Belief that the model could be applied to all people in all cultures—no recognition that development and pathology may be different in other cultures.
8. Very much a product of Freud’s time and culture-time bound.
9. The theory of development sees development as ending in early adolescence and no recognition of later change and potential for change.
10. Thinking on the causes of pathology do not fit the facts in most cases.
11. Treatment is too slow, not directive enough, and marginally effective at the very, very, very best.
