We spend the first lesson today looking at evidence we can use to evaluate Freud's theory - you can download the cards we used here. For next Wednesday you need to choose some of these ideas to write an evaluation of Freud's theory. This should include an explanation of both positive and negative criticisms, leading to a conclusion of your own - 1/2 to 2/3 of a side if you're handwriting is enough, but it needs to be carefully and clearly written.
My evaluation of Freud's theory in one sentence: "Many of the details of Freud's theory are not scientifically testable and therefore not trustworthy, but some big ideas like the unconscious are very valuable, and it 'opened the door' to other psychological explanations of personality, behaviour and abnormality."
