The psychological models include:
The Psychodynamic model - forces within the person not consciously aware, determine behavior; three central forces that are dynamic; instinctual needs, drives and impulses (id), rational thinking (ego), and moral standards (superego).
The Behavioral Model- learning maladaptive ways of behaving. Learned through conditioning; what has been learned can be unlearned.
The Cognitive Model- Irrational beliefs, think in illogical ways and make overgeneralizations.
The Humanistic-existential model- natural tendency to be friendly, cooperative and constructive, driven to self-actualize.
Existentialists give meaning to our existence or to avoid that responsibility.
