Description
Presenter: Allan Harkness, PhD
Overview.
Adaptive function has provided a key to understanding cognitive and emotional psychological capacities, from the time that functionalism was a major school of psychology. Throughout the history of research psychology, a series of problems and issues have continually resurfaced, relating to five major functions in adapting to the external environment (Harkness, Reynolds, & Lilienfeld, 2014). This Webinar will link these functions to major themes in personality and psychopathology. Recognizing the adaptive functions behind cognition, emotional, and personality brings functionalism to psychopathology, allowing a critical change in perspective that can inform treatment planning.
Objectives.
- learn to identify five major functions of adapting to external reality that have been major topics in psychological research throughout the history of the field and
- be able to identify the connections between the major adaptive functions and various forms of psychopathology for case conceptualization.
