Prepare a 5-to-7 page Argumentative Essay explaining which type of theory, psychodynamic or non-psychodynamic, provides the best explanation for your personality today. In this paper you will use vocabulary and concepts from two or more of the theories in chapters 8 to 16, and argue how they are more or less accurate at explaining how your unique personality was formed. The essay should demonstrate understanding of both psychodynamic explanations and two more modern theoretical views on personality.
Format: This is a more formal written assignment that should be based upon both our text and current professional literature. You should study the literature regarding questions or controversy surrounding non-psychodynamic personality theories, form a thesis statement based on your understanding of the material read, and then argue for that thesis statement. You should move beyond simply reporting the information gathered from the literature to a complex analysis of the material, formulation of a position related to the question or controversy, and then argue why a particular personality theory provides the best explanation of your personality today.
Getting Started: Before you can make an argument, you must first have a clear point of view, proposition, thesis, or statement that you are going to make a case for. A good starting point is to use your text to find out what is controversial about particular theories. Then, you can use the NU library to locate supportive information.
Required Length: 6-7 double-spaced pages of text. Add: Title Page, Abstract, and References; submit: 9-10 pages. Paper is to be written in APA Style.
References: Include a reference to our textbook and at least four (4) additional peer-reviewed journal articles.
