Detailed explanation-1: -The greatest criticism of the psychodynamic approach is that it is unscientific in its analysis of human behavior. Many of the concepts central to Freud’s theories are subjective, and as such, difficult to test scientifically.
Detailed explanation-2: -Psychodynamic theory has been criticized as being too deterministic or victim-blaming to be used in modern psychology and social work open in new. The original theories believed people had no control over their own behavior. There was a lack of personal agency.
Detailed explanation-3: -By using case studies to support theories, the approach does not use controlled experiments to collect empirical evidence, so is considered far less scientific than other approaches.
