Ann Roe - Psychoanalytic

• The publication of The Psychology of Occupations would introduce Roe's theory of personality development and career choice, her most enduring scientific contribution. Roe's theory can be separated into two key areas: theoretical aspects of personality and classification of occupations. Inspired by Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Roe incorporated the psychological needs that develop out of parent-child interactions in her conceptualization of personality. Roe classified parent-child interaction patterns into three categories, each with two subcategories.

Roe’s Theory of Occupational Choice• • Early childhood experiences are related to career choices.• • Parent-child relationships.• – Emotional concentration• • Overprotective• • Overdemanding• – Avoidance• • Neglect• • Rejection--Emotional or physical• – Acceptance• • Loving• • Casual• • Likely to choose a work situation that reflects the

psychological climate of home grew up in.
