Possible Psychological Perspectives/ Theories:
Psychodynamic Perspective

1. Which psychological perspective/theory did you pick? Who were the major people behind the perspective/theory? What is the history of the perspective/theory?
2. Give a basic small summary about the ideals of the theory.
3. Pros to the perspective/theory
4. Cons to the perspective/theory

Within the paper, make sure you have answered the questions using one of each of the following resources: a journal article (from an accredited journal), your textbook, and a credible website (Wikipedia does NOT count). These minimal three resources should be included in your APA format references page as well as in-text APA format citations.
Example:
Ciccarelli, S. K., & White, J. N. (2015). Psychology: an exploration, 3rd edition. Pearson, Boston.

Writing Guidelines:
Each paper should have a cover page and a reference page written in APA format. The typical APA research content guidelines, however, do not apply to our paper. I do expect a cover page, 3-4 pages of content, which is written text, with the appropriate header, and then a final reference page to adhere to APA rules. Sample cover sheet and reference page attached to Moodle. Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″) with 1″ margins on all sides. You should use 10-12 pt. Times New Roman font or a similar font.
