Psychological Theories & Identity - with Counselling Psychotherapist Dr Victoria Uwannah
Psychological theories and identity tend to align with one of two dimensions,” explains Dr Victoria Uwannah, Chartered Counselling Psychologist (BPS and HCPC registered). In this video, she outlines how some frameworks—such as those from developmental psychology—emphasise the formation of identity from early childhood, drawing on Erikson’s eight stages of personality development.
The second dimension, from social psychology, considers how identity is shaped through interpersonal relationships, social roles, and broader societal influences.
