Freud evaluation
- Strengths
- Novel approach to explaining mental disorders
- Methods were unique and developed specifically for his own purpose, to which they were all suited
- Freud tried to be scientific in his work
- Not all dreams held symbols, so he only used dream analysis as part of a complete psychoanalysis
- Novel approach to explaining mental disorders
- Weaknesses
- Lack of evidence - Freuds methods required subjective interpretation
- Freuds concepts are not measurable
- Cannot repeat the study and therefore cannot be tested for
reliability, as id ego and superego cannot be measured
- Use of case studies means cases cannot be repeated
- Small samples used in case studies
- Lack of evidence - Freuds methods required subjective interpretation
