ABSTRACT

Special note to readers: This chapter contains considerably more information on psychoanalytic theory and behaviorism than you need to know to pass the NCE or the CPCE. Why in the world would I include this information? Excellent question! Unfortunately, both theories contain a wealth of information and the few questions your exam might incorporate could come from any of the material I have discussed herein. Don’t think of it as overkill, but rather exam score insurance! On most comprehensive exams this will be the largest section of the exam. Translation: It will have the biggest impact on your score! Moreover, other exams and courses that cover these topics could indeed require the depth of material provided.
