Compare,the,humanistic,approach,with,the,psychodynamic,approach.,[8,marks],,ANS,-,,•,determinism,-
,the,humanistic,approach,assumes,people,have,free,choice,over,their,behaviour,,whereas,the,psychodyn
amic,approach,assumes,that,behaviour,is,determined,by,unconscious,factors,(beyond,conscious,control)
,•,nature/nurture,-,the,humanistic,approach,assumes,behaviour,is,affected,by,desire,to,self-
actualise,(nature),and,our,experience,can,provide,barriers,to,this,through,conditions,of,worth,and,varyin
g,experience,of,conditional,positive,regard,(nurture).,Likewise,,the,psychodynamic,approach,assumes,be
haviour,is,driven,by,unconscious,forces,,eg,id/ego/superego,dynamics,(nature),but,our,coping,mechanis
ms,such,as,defence,mechanisms,arise,from,experience,(nurture)
,•,methodology,-
,both,are,much,less,scientific,than,other,approaches,(but,the,psychodynamic,approach,assumes,that,som
e,aspects,of,behaviour,can,be,investigated,scientifically)
,•,therapy,-
,Rogers,believed,that,counselling,(utilising,unconditional,positive,regard),can,be,used,to,help,clients,solve
