Question

what are the disadvantages of the psychoanalytic theory,  humanistic theory, and the social cognitive theory?

anonymous · Answer

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is now very much had its day. It is not only that it has flaws scientifically (this of course is not the be all and end all of a therapy as some therapies have no science base at all), it is also that it has as a core belief that if you find the cause of an emotional problem you will solve it.

humanistic theory: Lack of empirical evidence, the 'self help' therapy involved can teach narcissistic tendencies.
