compare and contrast the behaviourable approach and psychodynamic approach?

Answer 1

I think you may be referring to the *behaviourist* approach. My memory from Psychology A-level is a little hazy but I would associate this with the idea that responses can be learned and unlearned (eg Ivan Pavlov's dogs etc). Here's how Wiki defines it:

"Behaviorism is an approach to psychology based on the proposition that behavior can be studied and explained scientifically without recourse to internal mental states. A similar approach to political science may be found in Behavioralism.

The behaviorist school of thought ran concurrent with the psychoanalysis movement in psychology in the 20th century. Its main influences were Ivan Pavlov, who investigated classical conditioning, John B. Watson who rejected introspective methods and sought to restrict psychology to experimental methods, and B.F. Skinner who conducted research on opperant conditioning."

I would link psychodynamics with the psychoanalytical perspective (eg Freud, Jung). Again, here's what Wiki has to say:

"In psychology, psychodynamics is the study of the interrelationship of various parts of the mind, personality, or psyche as they relate to mental, emotional, or motivational forces especially at the subconscious level. A focus in psychodynamics is the connection between the energetics of emotional states in the id, ego, and superego as they relate to early childhood developments and processes. Psychodynamics attempts to explain or interpret behavior or mental states in terms of innate emotional forces or processes."

Answer 2

Behaviourist approach I guess you mean... They're very different. Look at the question in terms of their theories on various things (whatever you've studied) the ways they conduct research, their positions in the nature-nurture, mind-body, free will-determinism debates etc. It's a VERY easy question.
