What will be an ideal response?
* The neo-Freudians emerged because a number of individuals did not agree with Freud's emphasis on certain aspects of his theory but nonetheless their perspectives fit the psychodynamic mold.
* It is often very difficult to test psychodynamic theory, results are often mixed when the theory is tested, Freud's ideas were based on a small sample of disturbed people.
* Freud drew attention to the potential importance of childhood experiences, was the first to outline a stage theory of development, drew attention to the impact of sexuality on human behavior, noted the importance of the unconscious, and popularized psychotherapy.
* Critics argue the theory is based on concern for one's own desires, irresponsibility, and the denigration of women.
