Topic 8.6
How can maladaptive patterns of behavior related to personality disorders be explained from both biological and psychodynamic perspectives?
Both biological and psychodynamic perspectives center their explanations solely around environmental factors.
Biological and psychodynamic theories both rely mainly on the influence of learned behavior.
Biological theories emphasize inherited characteristics while psychodynamic theories focus on unresolved conflicts during early life stages leading to personality disorders.
Biological theories disregard genetic influences, whereas psychodynamic theories assess inherited characteristics.
