 Psychodynamic models of emotional and behavioral disorders

The definition for the psychodynamic model considers the emotionally disturbed child to be so thwarted in satisfaction of their needs for safety, affection, acceptance, and self-esteem that they are unable intellectually to function efficiently, cannot adapt to reasonable requirements of social regulation and convention, or is so plagued with inner conflict, anxiety, and guilt that they are unable to perceive reality clearly or meet the ordinary demands of the environment in which they live.Sigmund Freud was a physician whose fascination with the emotional problems of his patients led him to develop a new branch of psychological theory.
