- Psychodynamic explantion
- OUTLINE
- Schizogenic mother - From Reichman (1948) supports the theory
- ID - The selfish one Ego - The compromise and one in-between Superego - nice and calm one
- Theory suggests schizophrenia's caused from bad upbringing
- Fantasies become confused with reality and the idea that the ego tries but fails to regain control
- This is seen by Freud as an infantile state
- EVALUATION
- Ignores other symptoms and just focuses on delusions and hallucinations
- Face validity - but then it cannot be proved or falsified because it cannot be tested
- No proof of ego, ID and superego
- lacks reliability
- Studies and theories are all outdated
- Studies have shown parents of schizophrenic do behave differently
- Could be either cause or effect but we don't know
