Psychodynamic perspectives place strong emphasis on how childhood experiences shape personality and behavior, so saying the perspective fails to highlight childhood influence is not a valid criticism. Poor testability, inadequate evidence, and a sexist point of view are commonly raised criticisms of these perspectives.
