How does the psychodynamic perspective differ from the biological perspective in explaining the etiology of schizophrenia?
Neither model attaches significance to early childhood experiences or traumas.
Both perspectives equally stress environmental influences as causal factors.
The psychodynamic perspective centers on learned behaviors, whereas the biological perspective emphasizes evolutionary adaptions.
The psychodynamic perspective suggests unconscious conflicts, while the biological perspective focuses on genetic and neurochemical causes.
