Remark: present a theoretical model that considers personality development as proceeding through the simultaneous development of two basic capacities: the ability to establish increasingly mature and satisfying interpersonal relationships (relatedness) and the development of an increasingly differentiated, integrated, essentially positive concept of the self (self-definition) / demonstrate how this theoretical model of personality development provides an effective way of conceptualizing various forms of psychopathology as disruptions of normal developmental processes and how these psychoanalytic formulations of personality development and psychopathology facilitate research on depression and the study of psychotherapy change (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved) |
