Formal writing assignment: students must prepare a ten page paper on one selected theory using the model of Structure, Motivation, Growth and  Developmental process (if applicable), Psychopathology, and treatment to analyze the theory.

We will identify and think through the major conceptual issues of each theorist. With each major theory you should be able to: (I )Discuss the basic structures of personality; (2) and the major motivational features; (3)Describe the growth and development process proposed by each theory; (4) Describe the major psychopathology that might result from interruptions in the growth and development process and (5) Discuss any treatment or therapeutic procedure that is recommended by the theoretical approach.
