Identify at least one contributor to each of the four theoretical approaches in clinical psychology, along with his or her specific theories or views about human behavior. Which of the four approaches do you find most interesting? Explain your response in a 150 words or more
The four perspective are
Psychoanalysis, which was propounded by Freud, and he believed that there are layers to the human behavior, and the subconscious is something that needs to be studied extensively in order to understand the behavior.
Humanistic perspective, which was propounded by Carl Roger's, it was more with the aspect of the patients feelings with respect to their existence and purpose and them knowing themselves the best.
Behavouristic perspective, which was proposed by Skinner, and Pavlov which spoke about the overt and external behavior being the predominant signifier of human behavior.
And there is the cognitive perspective which propounded by the likes of Piaget, who gave emphasis on the covert thoughts of an individual as identifiers if understanding.
According to me, the psychoanalysis perspective is more interesting as it treats the human mind as a layered structure which has a lot to explore and comprehend
