Clinical Psychology (EPPP) Exam Study
Guide with Complete Solutions
Clinical Psychology - Answer✔️✔️-- the study, diagnosis, and treatment of
psychological and behavioral disorders
Assumptions of Psychodynamic Therapies - Answer✔️✔️-- human behavior
is motivated by unconscious processes
- early development has a profound effect on adult functioning
- universal principles explain personality development and behavior
- insight into unconscious processes is a key component of therapy
Freudian Psychoanalysis - Answer✔️✔️-- human beings are determined by
irrational forces, unconscious motivations, biological and instinctual needs
and drives, and psychosexual events that occur during the first five years
of life
Freud's Personality Theory - Answer✔️✔️-- composed of two theories:
structural (drive) theory and developmental theory
Structural Theory
(Freud) - Answer✔️✔️-- the personality is composed of three structures: the
id, ego, and superego
Id - Answer✔️✔️-- present at birth and consists of the person's life and death
instincts
- operates on pleasure principle and seeks immediate gratification of its
instinctual drives in order to avoid tension
Ego - Answer✔️✔️-- develops at six months of age
- operates ont eh reality principle that defers gratifcation until an
appropriate object is available in reality and employs thinking
- mediates conflicting demands of pleasure and reality
Superego - Answer✔️✔️-- develops between four and five years
- represents an internalization of society's values and standards
- attempts to permanently block socially unacceptable drives
Developmental Theory
(Freud) - Answer✔️✔️-- emphasizes the sexual drives of the id and proposes
that an individual's personality is formed during childhood as a result of
certain experiences during psychosexual stages of development
- over or undergratification of a person's sexual needs during a stage is
associated with different personality outcomes
Oral Stage - Answer✔️✔️-- Freud's first stage of personality development,
from birth to about age 2, during which the instincts of infants are focused
on the mouth as the primary pleasure center.
Anal Stage - Answer✔️✔️-- Freud's second stage of psychosexual
development where the primary sexual focus is on the elimination or
holding onto feces. The stage is often thought of as representing a child's
ability to control his or her own world.
Phallic Stage - Answer✔️✔️-- Freud's third stage of personality
development, from about age 4 through age 7, during which children
obtain gratification primarily from the genitals.
Latency Stage - Answer✔️✔️-- Freud's fourth stage of psychosexual
development where sexuality is repressed in the unconscious and children
focus on identifying with their same sex parent and interact with same sex
peers.
Genital Stage - Answer✔️✔️-- Freud's last stage of personality development,
from the onset of puberty through adulthood, during which the sexual
conflicts of childhood resurface (at puberty) and are often resolved during
adolescence).
Defense Mechanisms - Answer✔️✔️-- occur when the ego is unable to ward
off danger through rational, realistic means
- these operate on an unconscious level and deny or distort reality
(danger or anxiety helps alert the ego to impending threats, such as conflict
between the id and the superego)
Repression - Answer✔️✔️-- defense mechanism in which id's drives are
excluded from conscious awareness by maintaining them in the
unconscious
Reaction Formation - Answer✔️✔️-- defense mechanism in which one avoids
an anxiety evoking instict by doing the opposite
View of Psychopathology
(Freudian) - Answer✔️✔️-- maladaptive behavior results from an
unconscious, unresolved conflict that occurred during childhood
Psychoanalytic Therapy - Answer✔️✔️-- goal is to reduce symptoms by
bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness and integrating
previously repressed material into the personality
- use free associations, dreams, resistances, and transferences to confront,
clarify, interpret, and work through
Free Associations - Answer✔️✔️-- a method in psychotherapy where a
patient is encouraged to sit back, relax, free his/her mind, refrain from
trying to be logical, and report every image or idea that enters his/her
awareness, usually in response to some word or picture that the therapist
provides as an initial stimulus
Psychic Determinism - Answer✔️✔️-- belief that all behaviors are
meaningful and serve some psychological function
