Presentation
The UC introduces the sequence of the two UC dedicated to theoretical models of personality and human behavior and integrates the psychoanalytic, existentialist, humanist, and behaviourist models. These models will be framed in the history of scientific knowledge and psychotherapy, in cultural, geographical, and historical origins and influences, and discussed as complementary metaphors and narratives. Classical and contemporary perspectives, the most controversial and fragile aspects, as well as meritorious aspects and potentialities, will be presented and discussed. It is intended that students understand some of the essential principles for conceptualizing psychological intervention that emerge from the theoretical assumptions of each model.

Objectives
LO1: Contextualize the different models, historically and conceptually, in epistemological paradigms (positivism, post-positivism, social constructionism). LO2: To frame the different theoretical proposals as complementary approaches. LO3: To discuss some practical implications arising from the theoretical assumptions of the different models. LO4: Critically analyse the central assumptions and concepts of the models, contrast them in the shared and distinctive aspects, and identify and discuss their limitations, potential, and contributions to the study and practice of psychology. LO5: Apply the concepts and assumptions of the models to understand the development of the psyche, personality, normative and pathological functioning, and psychological change. LO6: Develop and apply a more diversified lexicon that incorporates the language of each of these models.
