Evaluation
Strengths• Takes all experiences into account• Unique method to uncovering unconscious thoughts• Useful as it can uncover manifestations of underlying
conflicts between the ID and superego.• Idiographic approach – treats each patient as an
individual

EvaluationWeaknesses• Inappropriate for certain people as it may reinforce
thoughts that are already obsessive.• Highly subjective and unfalsifiable.• Due to complicated nature of explanation for disorder,
unable to give a clear point for when a patient has been “cured”
• Lengthy and time consuming • Criticised for trauma it causes patients – looking back
in depth at negative childhood experiences
