Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The psychoanalytic model of abnormality suggests that unresolved internal conflicts from childhood can cause abnormal behavior. This is consistent with the doctor's suggestion that Dave's inability to cope with criticism stems from such conflicts. The biological, cognitive, and behavioral models are not directly focused on childhood experiences causing abnormal behavior.
